Resumo: We use Stochastic Production Frontiers to estimate the recent levels and the evolution of productive efficiency across regions in Brazil. Results are available for agriculture, industry and services, as well as for total production. We observe a substantive efficiency growth exhibited by agriculture at the national level, which is counterbalanced by the poor performance of services. The regional results show that efficiency levels still replicate, in general, the regional inequality that marked the country’s history through decades. However, the efficiency growth reveals new signs of convergence among states, especially for industry, with effects on the aggregate production. This indicates that inequality trends in productive efficiency may be starting to change.

Os resultados estão disponíveis para a agricultura, indústria e serviços, assim como para a produção agregada. Constatamos um substancial crescimento da eficiência no setor agrícola nacional, o que é contrabalançado pelo fraco desempenho do setor de serviços. Os resultados regionais mostram que os níveis de eficiência ainda replicam, em geral, a desigualdade que tem marcado o país por décadas. No entanto, as estimativas de crescimento da eficiência revelam novos sinais de convergência entre os estados, especialmente para a indústria, com efeitos na produção agregada. Isso indica que a tendência de desigualdade da eficiência produtiva pode estar começando a mudar.Departamento de Ciências Econômicas da UFMG2018-02-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/4195Nova Economia; Vol. 28 No. 2 (2018)Nova Economia; v. 28 n. 2 (2018)1980-53810103-6351reponame:Nova Economia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGenghttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/4195/2767Schettini, DanielaAzzoni, Carlos Robertoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-10-04T22:24:35Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/4195Revistahttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomiaPUBhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/oai||ne@face.ufmg.br1980-53810103-6351opendoar:2020-10-04T22:24:35Nova Economia (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
