The objective of this paper is to quantify and qualify the technological evolution of the Brazilian textile and construction supply chains between 1985 and 2009. The main conclusion is the following: it has not been strong changes on the technological emphasis of the two supply chains; however,...

In this study we investigate the performance of Brazilian industry based on productivity and efficiency indicators. We associate productivity with the concept of total factor productivity (TFP) while efficiency is measured based on the stochastic frontier production model that indicates how far...

The present work seeks to measure for the period 2000-2019 the evolution of sectoral work productivity in production chains. To do so, we carried out an input-output matrix (IPM) exercise based on the Brazilian Annual National Accounts from 2000 to 2019 (which are currently available). In the...

This article tries to calculate the total factor productivity (TFP) of the Brazilian supply chains and also the obsolescence of their capital between 1990 and 2009. We conclude two main aspects about our investigation: firstly, liquid obsolescence TFP have grown strongly after 1995, but not...
