Resumo: This paper aims to analyze the technical efficiency levels for developed and developing countries in generating scientific and technological progress for the years 2000 and 2010. More specifically, we intend to analyze the total factor productivity (TFP) through Malmquist index and measure the convergence efficiency of countries for more efficient groups through the data envelopment analysis (DEA) and Markov chains. Most countries were technically inefficient in the analyzed period and approximately 61% of those had increased productivity, and changes in the production process of the same technology were more significant. We noticed that more than half of the countries converge to the most efficient in generating class scientific and technological progress. We conclude that not necessarily the most developed countries will be the most efficient and productive in generating scientific and technological progress.

Mais especificamente, pretende-se verificar a produtividade total dos fatores (PTF) por meio do índice de Malmquist e mensurar a convergência da eficiência dos países para grupos mais eficientes através do data envelopment analysis (DEA) e cadeias de Markov. Os resultados mostram que grande parte dos países é ineficiente tecnicamente no período analisado e aproximadamente 61% apresentaram aumento na produtividade, sendo que as mudanças no processo produtivo de uma mesma tecnologia foram mais expressivas. Pode-se notar que mais da metade dos países convergirão para a classe mais eficiente em gerar progresso científico e tecnológico. Conclui-se que não necessariamente os países mais desenvolvidos serão os mais eficientes e produtivos em gerar progresso científico e tecnológico.UFRGS2018-07-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/article/view/6068610.22456/2176-5456.60686Análise Econômica; Vol. 36 No. 70 (2018): junho de 2018Análise Econômica; v. 36 n. 70 (2018): junho de 20182176-54560102-9924reponame:Análise Econômica (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/article/view/60686/48806Copyright (c) 2019 Análise Econômicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAlves, Frederick FagundesMadeira, Soraia AraújoSousa, Lucas Vitor de Carvalho2018-07-11T22:56:25Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/60686Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomicaPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/oai||rae@ufrgs.br2176-54560102-9924opendoar:2018-07-11T22:56:25Análise Econômica (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
