Resumo: In the 2000-2008 period, which covers the analysis of this paper, while the average real GDP growth in Brazil was 3.7 percent per year, labor productivity in the manufacturing industry had a negative variation of 1.0 percent per year. In Brazil, there has been a “cliché” evaluation of the relatively low economic growth rates in the period as being the result of low labor productivity growth in the last few decades. However, according to the so-called Kaldor-Verdoorn law, the reverse could also be true: low growth rates of labor productivity in Brazil could be an effect of low growth rates of the real GDP. Based on Kaldorian assumptions, we regressed the change in labor productivity of 21 Brazilian manufacturing industries, covering the 2000-2008 period, on three main variables: the real GDP (which captures the Kaldor-Verdoorn law), gross investment to value added ratio, and technological innovation. Our results confirmed the validity of the Kaldor-Verdoorn law, as the real GDP growth was the most significant variable to explain the behavior of labor productivity in the manufacturing industries in Brazil in the 2000s, followed by the gross investment rate.

En Brasil, ha sido un “cliché” evaluar las tasas relativamente bajas de crecimiento económico en el período como resultado del bajo crecimiento de la productividad laboral en las últimas décadas. Sin embargo, bajo la ley de Kaldor-Verdoorn, lo contrario también podría ser cierto: las bajas tasas de crecimiento de la productividad laboral de Brasil podrían ser el resultado de bajas tasas de crecimiento del PIB real. Con base en los supuestos de Kaldor, realizamos una regresión de la tasa de crecimiento de la productividad laboral de 21 industrias manufactureras contra tres variables principales: el PIB real (que captura la ley de Kaldor-Verdoorn), la tasa de inversión y un proxy de la innovación tecnológica. Nuestros resultados confirmaron la validez de la ley de Kaldor-Verdoorn, ya que el crecimiento del PIB real fue la variable más significativa para explicar el comportamiento de la productividad laboral en la industria manufacturera brasileña en la década de 2000, seguida de la tasa de inversión bruta.No período 2000-2008, que cobre a análise deste trabalho, enquanto o crescimento médio do PIB real no Brasil foi de 3,7% ao ano, a produtividade do trabalho na indústria de transformação apresentou variação negativa de 1,0% ao ano. No Brasil, tem sido um “clichê” avaliar as relativamente baixas taxas de crescimento econômico no período como resultado do baixo crescimento da produtividade do trabalho nas últimas décadas. No entanto, de acordo com a lei Kaldor-Verdoorn, o recíproco também poderia ser verdade: as baixas taxas de crescimento da produtividade do trabalho no Brasil poderiam ser o resultado das baixas taxas de crescimento do PIB real. Com base nos pressupostos de Kaldor, regredimos a taxa de crescimento da produtividade do trabalho de 21 indústrias manufatureiras contra três variáveis principais: o PIB real (que captura a lei Kaldor-Verdoorn), a taxa de investimento e uma proxy para inovação tecnológica. Nossos resultados confirmaram a validade da lei de Kaldor-Verdoorn, pois o crescimento do PIB real foi a variável mais significativa para explicar o comportamento da produtividade do trabalho na indústria manufatureira no Brasil na década de 2000, seguido da taxa de investimento bruto.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2017-11-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/865085610.20396/rbi.v17i1.8650856Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 17 No. 1 (2018); 9-32Revista Brasileira de Inovação; Vol. 17 Núm. 1 (2018); 9-32Revista Brasileira de Inovação; v. 17 n. 1 (2018); 9-322178-2822reponame:Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPenghttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/8650856/29725https://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/article/view/8650856/27229Brazil; 2000-2008Brasil; 2000-2008Brasil; 2000-2008Copyright (c) 2018 André Nassif, Carmem Feijó, Eliane Araujohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNassif, AndréFeijó, CarmemAraujo, Eliane2022-08-09T15:39:51Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8650856Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbiPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/rbi/oai||rbi@ige.unicamp.br2178-28221677-2504opendoar:2022-08-09T15:39:51Revista Brasileira de Inovação (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
