DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis paper analyses the impacts of the implementation of a transportation infrastructure project over the regional and national economic growth and its contribution to the decrease of the regional disparities in Brazil, as far as accessibility is concerned. This paper takes, as an illustrative case, the impact of the partial duplication of the highway BR-116, which is the main route between the Northeast region and the Center-South of the country. The methodological framework consists in the integration of a transportation model with the MIBRA model, an interregional applied equilibrium model of the Brazilian economy. The transportation model measures the change in the interregional distance and the accessibility to transport investment, while the MIBRA model estimates the spatial economic effects of the projects on the variables described above. The benchmark year is 1999. The model was constructed for six Brazilian regions, North, Northeast, Southeast, Center-West, South and São Paulo, and has details for twenty nine industries. In the simulation, the BR-116 highway has being duplicated by a total of 1,724 km. Overall the results show an increase in Brazilian GDP. In the short run, the change of the main economics indicators (GDP, demand of families and employment) is positive to almost all of the regions, with the Northeast region, the poorest one, being the more beneficiated, considering the GDP change. However, in the long run, in spite of positive changes in the GDP, the negative change in the employment level in the Northeast region persists. Despite the employment result, it is possible to verify that the duplication of BR-116 is capable of generate a propitious trade flow to the poorest regions of the country and to contribute to an increase in the production level, mainly in the Northeast region. As far as accessibility is concerned, it is possible not only to have access to cheaper inputs, but also to expand the production of more competitive products either to the domestic or to the external market.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBrazil is a country of continental proportions whose gross domestic product is unevenly distributed among its various regions. The impact of general domestic economic policies has often been perceived as not being regionally neutral, but as reinforcing the geographic concentration of economic activities. This detailed book examines the regional impact of such general policies as: industrialization, agricultural modernization, privatization, stabilization, science and technology, labor, and foreign direct investment. Written by recognized and respected scholars, this book fills a significant gap in the current literature on regional development in Brazil. Researchers and students in economics, economic history, political science and regional studies, and others interested in the economics of transition to a market system will find this comprehensive collection an invaluable resource.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFirst published in 1982, this work offers an analysis Brazil’s long-term economic history and development, spanning the period from independence to post-war industrial growth. The book focuses upon the classic problem of why Brazil failed to develop economically during the nineteenth century in a manner similar to the United States and other regions of recent settlement. This volume discusses in detail the principle features of Brazil’s economic landscape between 1822 and 1947, containing special coverage of topics such as slavery and the elastic supply of low cost labour from overseas; the inelastic supply of domestic output; the critical importance of the domestic agricultural sector and the lack of low-cost transportation; the reasons for the failure of international trade to act as an engine for generalized economic development; the special importance of economic infrastructure and public finance for the onset of sustained economic growth and structural change; and the central features of Brazilian development and industrialisation in the first half of the twentieth century.
