Inserção do Brasil no comércio internacional: o setor de carne bovina

Abstract

The export sector is seen as a strategic activity to enhance the competitiveness and integration of Brazilian companies in international trade. Brazil is one of the main players in the global beef market. Given the institutional and structural changes in foreign trade, as well as the need for Brazil to expand and consolidate its participation in external markets, this dissertation aims to analyze the behavior of a specific sector, the beef sector. The objective is to evaluate the economic and social impacts of variations in beef exports in Brazil. To do so, the study will use a computable general equilibrium model calibrated for the year 2014, the GTAP version 10. In this context, the beef sector will be evaluated with a focus on insertion in strategic markets. The conclusions point to positive macroeconomic results of exports, well-being, and production, contributing to greater integration of Brazil into international trade.
