Competencia en cadenas globales de valor en el sector de alimentos: un análisis del caso brasileño

El artículo examina la relación entre la realización de los derechos económicos y sociales y la regulación de los mercados basada en el derecho de la competencia y sus funciones en la realización del derecho a la alimentación en Brasil. Considerando el papel constitutivo del derecho en la economía política y sus instituciones, examinamos cómo la defensa de la competencia cumple funciones de facilitación o restricción de las actividades económicas, a partir de investigaciones jurisprudenciales sobre la actuación de la autoridad brasileña de defensa de la competencia en el sector de alimentos. Se verifica que, en el caso brasileño, existe la necesidad de un reconocimiento más explícito de la defensa de la competencia como herramienta de regulación económica y social, así como una discusión más detallada sobre los patrones típicos de competencia en el sector de alimentos, especialmente en las cadenas globales de valor. Se argumenta que el análisis antimonopolio sea más estructural, identificando los vínculos y las relaciones económicas en la cadena de valor de los alimentos, así como su impacto en los precios y otras variables clave, además de centrarse en los mercados relevantes y las superposiciones horizontales

THE ECONOMIC LAW AND THE INSTITUTIONAL CONSTRUCTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC DEVELOPMENT

The article is about the functions pursued by the economic law in the structuring and changing of institutions that serve as engines to policies democratically conceived and implemented to foster economic development. Particularly, the article claims that the economic law can be described and operated as a “technology” to frame effective and legitimate institutional arrangements in public policies. In its interaction with the political economy, the economic law is thus discussed from the perspectives of analysis, diagnosis and institutional improvement. Its specificity results from the fact that it can be, in such task, normatively instrumentalized to implement an economic development project

Problems in the regulatory policy of the drug market

OBJECTIVE Analyze the implementation of drug price regulation policy by the Drug Market Regulation Chamber.METHODS This is an interview-based study, which was undertaken in 2012, using semi-structured questionnaires with social actors from the pharmaceutical market, the pharmaceuticals industry, consumers and the regulatory agency. In addition, drug prices were compiled based on surveys conducted in the state of Sao Paulo, at the point of sale, between February 2009 and May 2012.RESULTS The mean drug prices charged at the point of sale (pharmacies) were well below the maximum price to the consumer, compared with many drugs sold in Brazil. Between 2009 and 2012, 44 of the 129 prices, corresponding to 99 drugs listed in the database of compiled prices, showed a variation of more than 20.0% in the mean prices at the point of sale and the maximum price to the consumer. In addition, many laboratories have refused to apply the price adequacy coefficient in their sales to government agencies.CONCLUSIONS The regulation implemented by the pharmaceutical market regulator was unable to significantly control prices of marketed drugs, without succeeding to push them to levels lower than those determined by the pharmaceutical industry and failing, therefore, in its objective to promote pharmaceutical support for the public. It is necessary reconstruct the regulatory law to allow market prices to be reduced by the regulator as well as institutional strengthen this government body
