A questão dos determinantes dos salários nas teorias clássica, marxista e neoclássica

The purpose of this article is to review critically part of the heritage of wage determination theories.

Ônibus: um segmento industrial em expansão

Neste artigo, busca-se analisar o comportamento do segmento produtor de ônibus (chassi e carroceria), no qual o Brasil vem mostrando competitividade, garantindo-lhe participação crescente no mercado internacional, a partir da segunda metade dos anos 90. O esforço de modernização em busca de qualidade, conforto e segurança empreendido pelos fabricantes de chassis e carrocerias, juntamente à adoção de uma política agressiva de conquista de novos mercados, tem alavancado as exportações nacionais de ônibus. As melhorias nos processos produtivos, os novos materiais utilizados, o “design” inovador, a variedade de modelos e tamanhos de veículos, o processo de internacionalização, dentre outros, contribuem para o aumento da competitividade do segmento

Desempenho da produção industrial brasileira e gaúcha em 2011

ABSTRACT This paper examined the evolution of the productive activity of the Brazilian and Rio Grande do Sul State industries in 2011. The analysis of the indices of physical production, calculated by IBGE, showed that the trend of deceleration in manufacturing activity started in 2010, even though the cumulative annual growth still reached a high rate. The factors responsible for the contraction in industrial production are well known. Besides the low competitiveness, due to the appreciation of the real, the reduced level of investment in innovation and the poor country’s infrastructure, other factors were added this year: unwanted inventories accumulation, wage growth above the rate of expansion of the sector's productivity and the deepening crisis in the U.S. and Europe increasing the uncertainty in the international economic environment. In addition, imports grew much more than exports in some industries, jeopardizing important links of the production chain. Key words: Brazilian industry; State of Rio Grande do Sul industry; competitiveness; slowing production.

A análise dos índices de produção física, calculados pelo IBGE, mostrou que a trajetória de desaceleração da atividade manufatureira teve início em 2010, ano em que a taxa acumulada ainda atingiu um percentual elevado. Os fatores responsáveis pela contração da produção industrial são bem conhecidos. Além da baixa competitividade, decorrente da valorização do real, do nível reduzido de investimentos em inovações e da infraestrutura deficiente, dentre outros fatores, somou-se, neste ano, o acúmulo indesejado de estoques, o crescimento dos salários acima do ritmo de expansão da produtividade do setor e o agravamento da crise nos EUA e na Europa, que aumentou a incerteza no ambiente econômico internacional. As importações, em alguns setores industriais, cresceram bem mais do que as exportações, comprometendo elos importantes da cadeia produtiva.
