Abstract

Este trabalho de investigação analisa a evolução da estrutura da produção e da produtividade associada aos factores produtivos.Tendo por objectivo uma análise das alterações estruturais que ao longo da década tiveram lugar na indústria transformadora portuguesa, foi utilizada para o efeito uma metodologia baseada numa função de produção translogarítmica, através da qual foram extraídas as elasticidades de produção relativas aos factores produtivos genericamente agrupados em trabalho, matérias e capital, e calculadas as respectivas produtividades marginais. A produção da indústria cresceu 16,8% apenas com o contributo negativo do sector dos Têxteis. Digna de realce a contribuição dos Produtos Metálicos, que registou uma taxa de crescimento na ordem dos 50%, o que pode indiciar um resultado positivo da política industrial, no correspondente a uma maior incorporação de valor acrescentado e alguma alteração da base industrial portuguesa. Os resultados também sugerem, que a transformadora em geral passou aproximadamente a necessitar de mais 54% de capital nos processos produtivos, para realizar o mesmo nível de produção. Os factores trabalho e matérias registaram um aumento global da produtividade de 5,34% e de 14,56% durante o período. Estes factores também apresentaram acréscimos significativos na sua contribuição para o valor da produção da indústria, respectivamente de 9,16% e 17,7%. A análise sectorial revela uma diferente evolução da produtividade dos factores nos quatro maiores sectores.
