Impacto na economia cearense da siderúrgica do Pecém sob a ótica Cepalina

Abstract

The objective of this work is to identify the impact of the installation of Companhia Siderúrgica do Pecém in its region under CEPAL's perspective. For this purpose, employment, income, gross domestic production and international trade indicators were analyzed. The results found reveal a significant change in the characteristics of employment and income in the municipality of São Gonçalo do Amarante, raising the wage bill of the salaried population and the average wage in almost all the functions analyzed. Furthermore, a change in the composition of the municipality's production was noted, increasing the value added of the municipality's industry, in contrast to the de-industrialization process noted in Ceará and Brazil. Finally, an increase in the level of participation in international trade was noticed, increasing the degree of economic openness in the state, but it remains with a small negative balance.
