Resumo: The 1980s was a difficult decade for the Brazilian economy. It was a period marked by both external and internal imbalances. The automobile industry was hard hit and the industry's performance during the period have been heavily criticized. This study presents evidence against the idea that the 1980s was a "lost decade" for the Brazilian automobile industry. While Brazilian auto makers have been lazy in erms of process innovation and productivity., the industry was not sleeping during this eriod. In fact, as we show, the pace of quality upgrading in Brazilian cars was astonishing.

A indústria automobilística foi atingida duramente e seu desempenho no período  vem sendo altamente criticado. Este estudo apresenta evidências contrárias à idéia de que a década de 80 foi uma "década perdida" para a indústria automobilística brasileira. Embora as montadotas brasileiras deixaram muito a desejar em termos de inovação de processo e produtividade, a indústria não esta dormindo neste período. Como mostra este trabalho a velocidade do aumento da qualidade dos carros brasileiros foi impressionante.EGV EPGE1999-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticlesArtigosapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/748Revista Brasileira de Economia; Vol. 53 No. 1 (1999); 41-68Revista Brasileira de Economia; v. 53 n. 1 (1999); 41-681806-91340034-7140reponame:Revista Brasileira de Economia (Online)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/748/1739https://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/article/view/748/1743Fonseca, Renatoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2010-07-13T19:44:10Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/748Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/https://periodicos.fgv.br/rbe/oai||rbe@fgv.br1806-91340034-7140opendoar:2024-03-06T13:02:45.957120Revista Brasileira de Economia (Online) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
