O comércio intra-industrial vertical e horizontal brasileiro entre os anos de 2009 e 2019

Abstract

The monograph aimed to visualize the occurrence of intra-industry trade (IIT) or interindustry trade carried out between eleven countries with Brazil, being perceived the modification, or not, of the type of trade that occurred during the years studied. In addition, in the years in which the occurrence of IIT was noticed, the types that had occurred were analyzed, which could be vertical (superior or inferior) or horizontal. To determine the occurrence of intra-industry or inter-industry trade, the Grubel and Lloyd index was used, which varies between 0 (inter-industry trade indicator) and 1 (IIT indicator). As for the qualification of the IIT, the Abd-el-Rahman method was used, which defines that if the ratio between the unit value of the exported product by the unit value of the imported product is between the interval [(1-α); (1+α)], the IIT will be qualified as horizontal. If the ratio is less than (1-α), the IIT will be inferior vertical, and if the ratio is greater than (1+α), then the IIT will be superior vertical, using the dispersion value (α) equal to 15%. In the study, it was shown that most of the trade carried out between Brazil and its trading partners studied was inter-industrial trade, while in the analysis of only the IIT cases, it was seen that the vertical IIT predominated, with more cases of inferior vertical.
