Misallocation na cadeia produtiva brasileira a partir de multiplicadores para bens intermediários

Abstract

The objective of this dissertation is to evaluate the hypothesis of misallocation of resources in the Brazilian economy, based on calculations of intermediate goods multipliers, production elasticity, total factor productivity (TFP) and capital goods. The research is based on the literature on misallocation. Thus, indicators were calculated based on a neoclassical model of intermediate goods. We used the national Input-Output matrices prepared by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics for the years 2002, 2005, 2010, 2015. In this way, it was possible to identify which sectors of the Brazilian economy were most affected intersectorally by the misallocation of resources and strategic investments that can be made to mitigate the phenomenon are discussed. The results showed that the Brazilian economy presents a considerable degree of misallocation that makes it lose part of its dynamics. This is due to the lack of technological development in the production of intermediate goods, which, in turn, compromises the performance of national production chains.
