The industrialization of the Brazilian exports regulation between 1964 and 1974
new data and indices for the foreign trade commerce in the period
Abstract
This article analyzes the effects on Brazil’s trade indices of the rising share of industrial products in Brazil’s exports in the period from 1964 to 1974. New price and quantity indices of Fisher for Brazil’s exports and imports of industrial and non-industrial goods have been especially constructed for this period, in order to obtain methodologically consistent series of indices from 1964 to 2005. The market-share-constant model was applied to analyze the effects of different groups of products on Brazil’s export revenues between 1964 and 1974.
