Impactos da integração do Brasil com a União Europeia através de um modelo de equilíbrio geral

Abstract

This study analyses the bilateral trade between Brazil and the European Union (EU) in the period 2002-2012, examining the trade opportunities based on a full integration process. It employs a computable general equilibrium model from the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP), aiming at identifying the sectors that benefit most from the agreement, according to their technological intensity. The results show that Brazil benefit most from the agreement in terms of welfare. However, it would deepen the recent process of primarization of Brazilian exports, with a significant increase in exports of primary products. However, it would cause a decrease in production and exports of products with higher technological intensity, increasing the country’s imports from the EU.
