As exportações dos Estados da região sul do Brasil por intensidade tecnológica entre 1996 e 2007

Abstract

Considering the values exported by each state belonging to the south of Brazil, through quarterly data from 1996-2007, according to the classification of technological degree proposed by OECD, this paper aims to: (i) present the characteristics of the roll of exported products for each state of the south of Brazil according to the technological classification; (ii) estimate short and long-term models for the functions of supply and demand for exports in each state and its elasticities. In order to do so, the log-linear function was employed in all term series and the Errors of Correction Mechanism (ECM) on the short-term relations. In Rio Grande do Sul, there was an expressive growth of average-high technology goods, which practically doubled its exports. In Santa Catarina, the products of low technological degree stood out with approximately 60% from the exporting roll. In Paraná, the communication equipment stood out in its expressive growth of high-technology goods exports. On the short-term equations, the
