The deindustrialization phenomenum in Brazil and Argentina: a comparative analysis
Keywords:
Deindustrialization, Economic growth, Industrial sector,Abstract
This current essay investigates the deindustrialization phenomenon for Argentina and Brazil, due to the similarities between them. The first procedure used for this effort was a historical survey of Argentine and Brazilian industrialization processes, used to verify the economic and industrial situation of recent years in order to identify the causes of deindustrialization. The additional method is an empirical attempt to evaluate two usual indicators for this topic: the participation of the manufacturing industry in GDP growth and the participation of the manufacturing industry in total employment. The analysis reveals evidences of deindustrialization both for the Brazilian and Argentine economies. Therefore, the results emphasized the importance of a more active stance of the Brazilian and Argentinean State, in order to encourage more actively the industrial sector, either directly or indirectly, through a more coherent and stable macroeconomic policy.Downloads
