Resumo: | This doctoral dissertation comprises three independent papers focusing on economic growth. The first paper investigates the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI), specifically through greenfield and mergers and acquisitions, on Brazilian economic growth. Findings reveal that while FDI alone does not significantly influence Brazilian growth, its positive effects are enhanced by local conditions. Notably, FDI via greenfield positively impacts Brazilian growth, while the effects of FDI through mergers and acquisitions and FDI volatility are negligible. The second paper explores the misallocation of talent in the Brazilian labor market, particularly among teachers, and its adverse effects on the workforce and economic development. Barriers in the labor and education markets lead to talent misallocation, hindering economic growth. Eliminating these barriers could result in a substantial 16.94% increase in Brazilian income. The third paper examines the spillover effects of intermediate goods on income per worker, using a general equilibrium model with four sectors: agriculture, industry, traditional services, and modern services sectors. The study demonstrates that closing the productivity gap in the industry has a more significant average impact on GDP per worker and aggregate productivity compared to other sectors. Furthermore, in countries with highly efficient agricultural and industrial sectors, a structural change favoring the services sector, without a necessary increase in productivity, exacerbates the gap in GDP per worker between countries. |

O primeiro artigo investiga o impacto do investimento estrangeiro direto (IED), especificamente por meio de greenfields e fusões e aquisições, no crescimento econômico brasileiro. Os resultados revelam que, embora o IDE por si só não influencie significativamente o crescimento brasileiro, seus efeitos positivos são potencializados pelas condições locais. Notavelmente, o IDE via greenfield impacta positivamente o crescimento brasileiro, enquanto os efeitos do IDE através de fusões e aquisições e a volatilidade do IDE são insignificantes. O segundo artigo explora a má alocação de talentos no mercado de trabalho brasileiro, especialmente entre os professores, e seus efeitos adversos sobre a força de trabalho e o desenvolvimento econômico. As barreiras nos mercados de trabalho e de educação conduzem a uma má alocação de talentos, dificultando o crescimento econômico. Remover essas barreiras poderia resultar em um aumento substancial de 16,94% na renda brasileira. O terceiro artigo examina os efeitos de transbordamento dos bens e serviços intermediários no rendimento por trabalhador, utilizando um modelo de equilíbrio geral com quatro setores: agricultura, indústria, serviços tradicionais e serviços modernos. O estudo demonstra que fechar o gap de produtividade na indústria tem um impacto médio mais significativo no PIB por trabalhador e na produtividade agregada em comparação com os outros setores. Além disso, mostramos que em países cujos setores agrícolas e industriais são altamente eficientes, uma mudança estrutural que favoreça o setor dos serviços, sem o devido aumento de produtividade, aumenta ainda mais o gap no PIB por trabalhador entre países.Biblioteca Digitais de Teses e Dissertações da USPJúnior, Fernando Antônio de BarrosNakabashi, LucianoRibeiro, Marcos Júnio2024-01-25info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesisapplication/pdfhttps://www.teses.usp.br/teses/disponiveis/96/96131/tde-28032024-101627/reponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USPinstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPLiberar o conteúdo para acesso público.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesseng2024-04-01T12:18:02Zoai:teses.usp.br:tde-28032024-101627Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertaçõeshttp://www.teses.usp.br/PUBhttp://www.teses.usp.br/cgi-bin/mtd2br.plvirginia@if.usp.br|| atendimento@aguia.usp.br||virginia@if.usp.bropendoar:27212024-04-01T12:18:02Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da USP - Universidade de São Paulo (USP)false |
