Os efeitos das políticas industriais para o setor de produtos eletrônicos do Brasil

Abstract

The effect of industrial policies on the electronic sector in Brazil. Brazil’s reputa- tion in vertical industrial policies is dreadful. The electronics industry case is a good example. As measured by the performance of Brazil’s exports vis-à-vis that of a group of emerging economies, the result of these policies was a total disaster. had not been for the inadequacy of Brazil’s industrial policies for this sector, exports of manufactures could have been between 36% and 46% higher than they actually were. Brazil’s cumulated losses from 1984, when foreign microcomputer firms were prohibited to operate in the country, are estimated to be from 3.6 to 4.6 the coun- try’s manufactures export revenue in 2005.
