THE BRAZILIAN DEINDUSTRIALIZATION THESIS REVISITED: A SUBSYSTEM APPROACH, 2000-2015

ABSTRACT This article investigates the structural transformation of sectors and subsystems in Brazil during the 2000-2015 period, applying Momigliano and Siniscalco’s approach. We employed the official Brazilian input-output tables from 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 to evaluate employment, value-added,...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT This article investigates the structural transformation of sectors and subsystems in Brazil during the 2000-2015 period, applying Momigliano and Siniscalco’s approach. We employed the official Brazilian input-output tables from 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 to evaluate employment, value-added, and profits of six economic activities. Looking at sectors and subsystems, we can better understand the structural change and its connection with domestic outsourcing, particularly in manufacturing. Our findings underscored a weaker process of manufacturing decline when we take the subsystem approach. The rising integration of market services into the manufacturing sector explains, at least partially, the smaller manufacturing decline in terms of value-added and profit participation in the overall economy. RESUMO Este artigo investiga a transformação estrutural em setores e subsistemas no Brasil durante o período de 2000 a 2015, aplicando a abordagem de Momigliano e Siniscalco. Foram empregadas as tabelas brasileiras oficiais de insumo-produto de 2000, 2005, 2010 e 2015 para averiguar o emprego, valor adicionado e lucros de seis atividades econômicas. Analisando os setores e os subsistemas, pode-se melhor compreender as mudanças estruturais e sua conexão com a terceirização, particularmente na manufatura. As estimações alcançadas enfatizaram um processo mais fraco de declínio da manufatura quando utilizamos a abordagem do subsistema. A crescente integração dos serviços de mercado na manufatura explica, pelo menos parcialmente, o menor declínio manufatureiro em termos de participação de valor adicionado e lucro na economia.
