Análise dos determinantes das exportações agrícolas brasileiras para os rics entre os anos de 1982 a 2012

Abstract

The intensification of trade between the BRICS may be due both to international agreements such as macroeconomic policy factors such as the real effective exchange rate, the terms of trade, foreign direct investment and per capita income. The Brazil concentrates much of its production for export in sectors with lower technological intensity, favoring the production of commodities. Thus, this study is to investigate the fundamental macroeconomic determinants of exporting agricultural sector in Brazil for selected economies: Russia, India , China and South Africa (RICS), through commonly known variables as decisive for total exports, which are: real effective exchange rate, the terms of trade, income per capita and foreign direct investment. To assess these determinants, we used the theory of international trade, with the use of time series, through self regressive vectors methodology (VAR). The analysis showed that both the terms of trade as per capita income were significant for China and South Africa. Russia showed that the real effective exchange rate in Brazil is significant for India the real exchange rate and the terms of trade were equally significant.
