On the Determinants of Brazil’s Manufactured Exports: An Empirical Analysis An Empirical Analysis 1st Edition – (PDF/EPUB Version)

This study seeks to identify the determinants of Brazil’s favourable export performance until the mid-1980s, especially in the field of manufactured goods. Two hypotheses figure prominently in the analysis. The export success may be due to Brazil’s specialization in industries which made intensive use of the country’s relatively abundant productive factors. Alternatively, economic policies may be responsible for the success in manufactured exports.
