Abstract
Desenvolvemos uma estrutura formal que endogeneiza a estrutura produtiva de uma pequena economia periférica aberta como o resultado de um problema de escolhas técnicas. Em seguida, examinamos as principais teses teóricas e prescrições políticas da abordagem neodesenvolvimentista do desenvolvimento econômico. Argumentamos que: a) não apenas o padrão de especialização depende das condições técnicas, mas também da distribuição de renda; b) numa economia sem rendas, o nível do rácio do salário nominal-taxa de câmbio é determinado univocamente quando a taxa de lucros é conhecida e mostra uma relação inversa com a mesma; c) se as rendas diferenciais forem consideradas, o nível da taxa de lucros pode ser estabelecido independentemente do rácio do salário monetário; d) o nível da taxa de câmbio que garante a rentabilidade normal do setor primário não precisa coincidir com a taxa de equilíbrio em conta corrente; e) a taxa de câmbio efetiva não precisa gravitar em torno de nenhum desses dois níveis anteriores, que devem ser vistos como limiares mínimos da taxa efetiva; e) as consequências distributivas desagradáveis da depreciação da taxa de câmbio podem ser parcialmente evitadas por meio de impostos de exportação que não elevam os custos de produção de commodities primárias. We develop a formal framework that endogeneizes the productive structure of a small open peripheral economy as the outcome of a problem of technical choices. We subsequently examine the main theoretical theses and policy prescriptions of the New-Developmentalist approach to economic growth. We argue that: a) not only does the pattern of specialization depend on technical conditions, but also on income distribution; b) in an economy without rents, the level of the money wage-nominal exchange rate ratio is univocally determined once the rate of profits is known, and shows an inverse relationship with it; c) if differential rents are considered, the level of the rate of profits can be set independently of the money wage-exchange rate ratio; d) the level of the exchange rate that ensures normal profitability of the primary sector need not coincide with the current-account equilibrium rate; e) the effective exchange rate need not gravitate around any of these two former levels, which must be rather seen as minimum thresholds of the effective rate; e) the unpleasant distributive consequences of exchange-rate depreciation can be partially avoided by means of export duties that do not raise primary-commodities production costs.
