Resumo: This paper analyses the border effect on the Brazilian goods market, which indicates how biased intranational trade is compared to international trade. We quantify the border effect empirically using a cross-sectional gravity equation for twenty six Brazilian states plus the Federal District and forty-six countries,and find that although Brazil has been lowering its trade barriers, the border effect is still very  high by any standards. The bias in a typical Brazilian state relative to other countries was found to be around 33, suggesting that trade among Brazilian states is thirty-three times as high as trade with a foreign country. The welfare consequences of a bias of this magnitude are likely to be very large for a developing country such as Brazil. It can be explained both by the low degree of substitutability among goods produced in Brazilian states and foreign countries, as well as by the large barriers to international trade.

Esse efeito foi estimado empiricamente, utilizando-se dados de corte seccional, em um modelo de gravidade com os 26 estados brasileiros mais o Distrito Federal e 46 países. Apesar de o Brasil estar reduzindo as barreiras ao comércio internacional, o efeito-fronteira calculado mostrou-se ainda muito alto para os padrões conhecidos. O valor encontrado para o viés entre os estados brasileiros foi igual a 33, evidenciando-se que eles comercializam 33 vezes mais entre si do que com os países estrangeiros. Em um país em desenvolvimento como o Brasil, as conseqüências desse viés, em termos de bem-estar, provavelmente sejam muito grandes. A magnitude do efeitofronteira pode ser explicada pelo baixo grau de substituição entre os produtos domésticos e estrangeiros e, também, pelas grandes barreiras ao comércio internacional.Departamento de Ciências Econômicas da UFMG2009-06-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/493Nova Economia; Vol. 17 No. 3 (2007)Nova Economia; v. 17 n. 3 (2007)1980-53810103-6351reponame:Nova Economia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/493/488Silva, Orlando M. daAlmeida, Fernanda M. deOliveira, Bethania M. deinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-08-11T04:28:11Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/493Revistahttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomiaPUBhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/oai||ne@face.ufmg.br1980-53810103-6351opendoar:2020-08-11T04:28:11Nova Economia (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
