An Overview of the Productive Structure of the Amazon Region: Using the Eyes of an Interregional Input-Output System

There is a scarcity of economic studies about the economy of the Amazon region, and specially about its productive structure. The goal of the present study is to shed some light on the way that the productive relations take place among the states of the Amazon region and between them and the rest of Brazil. This study takes as the main source of data an interregional input-output system consisted of 10 regions (nine Amazon states and the Rest of Brazil region) constructed for the year of 1999 by Guilhoto et al. (2002) for the Amazon Bank (BASA). The analysis is conducted by first studying, through the interregional input-output system, how the economic relations take place in the Amazon region. Then, through a series of methodologies, like multipliers, and backward and forward linkages, and using the concept of Electroeconogram it is made a comparative study of the differences in productive structures among the Amazon Region states.

Production structure of Para: An Analysis of input-output

The research has as main objective to carry out a structural analysis of the economy of Pará, filling a gap in research on the region. The analysis, which includes the relations of the state of Para with the rest of the country, was enabled by the construction of input-output matrix of the reference year, 2004. The results showed that there is high dependence of production on the state of Para in goods and services for intermediate consumption for the rest of the country generating a high overflow of the multiplier effect of employment, production and value added, which indicates the need to stimulate local industry of goods and services of intermediate consumption. The sectors with the highest production values of the multiplier in Pará are Livestock and fishing, Food and beverages, Items of clothing and accessories and leather goods and footwear. Sectors of agribusiness, tourism and education have a high capacity to generate jobs, such as Agriculture, Forestry and logging, Livestock and fishing, Articles of apparel and accessories, Lodging and food services, Other services and Public education. Products exported to the rest of the country and abroad have low value, indicating a need for investment in the agribusiness sector. The sectors that showed the largest multiplier value added are Public education, Public administration and social security, Education and Other services market, but they also have a high spillover effect. Investment in public education produces high returns on employment generation and value added.Pará; Insumo-Produto; Economia Regional

Relações sinérgicas e efeitos sobre a produção setorial no sistema inter-regional Paraná-Restante do Brasil

The present article has as objective to calculate and to analyze the level of the synergic interactions and the overflow of the multiplying effect of the sectorial production between Parana and the Rest of Brazil (Brazil except Parana), using interregional systems of input-output estimated for the years of 1995 and 2000. The main results showed that: a) the dependence of the production of Parana in relation to the flow of trade with the Rest of Brazil raised from 25% in 1995 to 33% in 2000; b) only 1.36% of the production of the Rest of Brazil depended on the flow of input (goods and services) between this and Parana in 1995, reducing this dependence to 0,56% in 2000; c) the overflowing average of the multiplier effect of the production of the sectors of the economy of Parana in direction of the Rest of Brazil raised from 16% in 1995 to 20% in 2000, while in direction of the Rest of Brazil-Parana, it kept on 1%.input-output, synergic interactions, overflow of the production, regional economy., Agribusiness, C67, D57, R15,

Brazilian Economy: Structural transformations in the period 1990-2003

The goals of the study were to calculate the employment multiplier of net salary, production and rates of inter-sectoral linkages and structural transformation of the sectors of the Brazilian economy from 1990-2003 from the input-output matrix.The results can be divided into three periods: the first, 1990-1996, was marked by major structural changes, with relocation of production, value added and sectorial employment, increase of the induced effect and increase of trade, services and agriculture participation in production and fall of these in the number of persons employed; the period 1997-1998 showed a smaller structural modification, stability of participation of sectors in production, in value added and in absorption of employed persons; the third period, 1999-2003, showed a decrease of the values of sectors’ induced effect, an increase of agriculture and industry participation in the production and in the value-added and a reduction in the contribution of these sectors in the number of persons employed. As for labor productivity, measured by value added per person, it increased for the agriculture and industry and a decrease in trade and services.Structural Change, Input-Output, Brazilain Economy

Inter-regional system of the of south rest of Brazil: composition of production's and employmnet's multiplier effect

The aim of this study was to analyse the distribution of the multiplier effect of production trigged by the variation of final sectorial demand and to estimate the overflowing effect of production and employment of the input-output inter-regional system formed by the regions Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul (the South Region) and Rest of Brazil, structured in 26 sectors, for the year 1999. The results of the distribution of the multiplier effect of production and employment showed that the greatest values were concentrated in the direction South Region-Rest of Brazil. The estimated values showed that Paraná and Santa Catarina were more dependent of the flows of goods and services from the Rest of Brazil to feed the economic system than Rio Grande do Sul. On the other hand, those two states showed small overflowing values within the South Region, indicating less integration with that Region than with the Rest of Brazil. Within the South Region, there was more overflowing in the direction Santa Catarina-Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul-Paraná, indicating that Paraná was an important inter-regional supplier of goods and services. In the case of Paraná, the greatest values of production overflowing were in the direction Rest of Brazil- South Region, being highlights sectors 15-Clothing, 7-Transport material and 8-Woods and furniture. Within the South Region, the greatest overflowing value was found for sector 15-Clothing, in the direction of Santa Catarina. With respect to the overflowing of employment, the greatest values found for the Rest of Brazil were for sector 17-Food industry. For Paraná, the greatest values of employment overflowing were for the sectors 8-Woods and furniture, 15-Clothing, 17-Food industry, 7-Transportat material, and 16-Other industrial products, in the direction Rest of Brazil. Within the South Region, sectors 17-Food industry and 8-Woods and furniture were outstanding.input-output; inter-regional system; production; employment.

Agronegócio de países selecionados: análise de sustentabilidade entre o PIB e emissões de CO2

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi mensurar e comparar a cadeia produtiva do agronegócio em 64 países e o restante do mundo considerando as variáveis renda (Produto Interno Bruto - PIB) e emissões de dióxido de carbono por queima de combustíveis fósseis entre os anos de 2005 e 2015 com metodologia baseada na matriz de insumo-produto. O PIB do agronegócio no ano de 2005 era de cerca de 6 trilhões de dólares em valores correntes e participava com 13,6% do PIB mundial e passou para 11 trilhões de dólares em 2015 (15,3%). O agronegócio gerou aproximadamente dois bilhões de toneladas de dióxido de carbono no ano de 2005, com participação de 8,5% nas emissões totais, e as emissões aumentaram cerca de 166 milhões de toneladas entre 2005 e 2015, porém a participação no total diminuiu para 7,6%. Os maiores emissores globais (setor produtivo e agronegócio) no ano de 2015 foram China, Estados Unidos, Índia e Rússia, respectivamente. Os resultados do indicador de sustentabilidade emissões por unidade de renda mostraram que na maior parte dos países o agronegócio se mostrou capaz de aumentar a produção com menor valor de emissões por unidade de renda em relação à média da economia

INDÚSTRIA AUTOMOBILÍSTICA NO PARANÁ: IMPACTOS NA PRODUÇÃO LOCAL E NO RESTANTE DO BRASIL

The goal of this article is to measure the level of synergic interactions produced by the flow of goods and services, the multiplier effect of production and the overflowing to the economic sectors of Paraná and the rest of Brazil, with especial attention to the automobile industry. The data base was the input-output interregional system Parana-rest of Brazil (Brazil except Parana) estimated for 2000. The results showed that the average of overflowing of the multiplier effect of production in the direction Parana-rest of Brazil was approximately 20%, while in the direction rest of Brazil-Parana it was less then 1%. The biggest percentages of overflowing of production were found for the sectors Siderurgy and Metallurgy (44%), Textiles (33%), Clothing, Footwear, Leather and Skins (33%), Electrical/Electronic Material (33%) and the Automobile Industry (31%). In the case of the Automobile Industry of Parana, each R$1,000.00 in production growth would generate about R$ 480.00 in the economy of Parana and R$ 659.00 in industries in the rest of Brazil. The indirect effect of production growth of the sector would benefit mainly the sectors of Commerce, Chemicals and Machinery and Equipments in Paraná, and the sectors of Metallurgy, Chemical and the Automobile Industry in the rest of Brazil.

Estrutura produtiva e regiões polarizadas paranaenses: o que mudou em uma década?

In the period 1995-2006 the paranaense economy went through a restructuring process whith technological and productivity gains in several segments. In this context, this article aimed to compare interregional and intersectoral structure of the state economy during this period, subdivided into four polarized regions. Starting from the inter-regional input-output systems, the main results showed that: a) the polarized region by Curitiba reduced its trade relations with the others, becoming less dependent of the system in terms of purchase and sale of inputs, reinforcing its dynamic concentrator; b) the polarized regions by Ponta Grossa, Londrina and Cascavel became more integrated with each other and with the polarized region by Curitiba; c) the polarized regions by Curitiba and Londrina continued as the most important producers of Paraná interregional system; d) the polarized region by Cascavel was the only one of the regions improved their purchasing relationships with other regions of the system.No período 1995-2006 economia paranaense passou por um processo de reestruturação produtiva, com ganhos tecnológicos e de produtividade em vários segmentos. Nesse contexto, esse artigo objetivou comparar a estrutura inter-regional e intersetorial da economia estadual nesse período, subdividida em 4 regiões polarizadas. Partindo dos sistemas inter-regionais de insumo-produto, os principais resultados mostraram que: a) a região polarizada por Curitiba reduziu suas relações comerciais com as demais, se tornando a menos dependente do sistema em termos de compra e venda de insumos, reforçando sua dinâmica concentradora; b) as regiões polarizadas por Ponta Grossa, Londrina e Cascavel se tornaram mais integradas entre si e com a região polarizada por Curitiba; c) as regiões polarizadas por Curitiba e Londrina continuaram como as mais importantes produtoras do sistema inter-regional paranaense; d) a região polarizada por Cascavel foi a única dentre as regiões que melhorou suas relações de compra com as demais regiões do sistem
