Resumo(s)
This work project provides evidence on the positive effect of trade liberalization
on productivity growth in the Brazilian automotive industry. I use data before
and after trade liberalization. The positive effect of trade liberalization found
here supports the idea that the adoption of higher tariffs on imports in this sector
is not justified. This idea is also supported by the fact that production increased since trade liberalization. Higher tariffs on imports of vehicles are one of the
measures of the recently announced plan Brasil Maior. According to the results
found here, the effect of this new protectionist measure might be the loss of
productivity and efficiency of the industry in the long run and the supply of
expensive products in the domestic market.
