Análise da evolução das indústrias do acúçar e do álcool no Brasil a partir da matriz insumo-produto (2000 e 2009)

Abstract

The present study aims at analyzing Sugar and Alcohol Industries based on Brazil Input-Output Matrices (2000 and 2009). Taking this context into account, the indices for intersectorial linkages and the Field of Influence, the production multipliers, the generators and multipliers of employment and remuneration, as well as the Structural Decomposition of employment variation were estimated also analyzing the production, employment, and remuneration variables of both industries. This study allowed the conclusion that Sugar and Alcohol Industries cannot be framed into the category of key-sectors. However, such industries are important as input consumers from the other sectors. Another important aspect is the fact that even considering that the employment generators from the Sugar and the Alcohol Industries have recently lost positions in relation to the other sectors, both industries were able to generate jobs above the economic average. The sectors that mostly relate to the Sugar and the Alcohol Industries are the Agriculture and Services (Trading; Transportation, storage and shipping; Financial intermediation and insurance; Services rendered to the companies; Maintenance and repair, among others) mainly.
