Abstract

Este trabalho avaliou o papel da infraestrutura sobre a produtividade das indústrias em nível de mesorregiões brasileiras. Constatou-se que a infraestrutura afeta positivamente a eficiência das indústrias, embora, pela dimensão dos coeficientes estimados, essa influência seja de pequena monta. Nos níveis médios de eficiência e produto, um aumento de 1% na cobertura regional de rodovias leva a um acréscimo no indicador de eficiência produtiva regional (que varia entre zero e um) da ordem de 0,1289 pontos e de 0,121% no produto industrial regional; similar aumento em infraestrutura urbana (composto de abastecimento de água, esgotamento sanitário e iluminação pública) leva a um crescimento na eficiência da ordem de 0,2801 pontos e de 0,247% no produto; para telefonia, que se mostrou apenas marginalmente significante, o resultado é de aumento de 0,152 pontos no índice de eficiência e de 0,142% no produto. This paper evaluated the role of infrastructure on the productivity of industries in the Brazilian mesoregions. We found that infrastructure positively affects the efficiency of industries, although due to the size of the estimated coefficients, this influence is small. Considering the average levels of efficiency and product, a 1% increase in regional coverage of roads leads to an increase in the regional productive efficiency indicator (which varies between zero and one) around 0.1289 points and 0.121% in the regional industrial product; similar increase in urban infrastructure (consisting of water supply, sanitation and street lighting) leads to an increase in efficiency around 0.2801 points and 0.247% in the product; for the telephony sector, which showed only marginally significant, the result is an increase of 0.152 points in the efficiency indicator and 0.142% in the product.
