Abstract

As barreiras comerciais protegem as economias da concorrência internacional, mas distorcem as relações comerciais entre elas, e reduzem os benefícios que poderiam advir dos acordos de livre comércio. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar os impactos da criação da ALCA, com desgravação tarifaria gradual, sobre os principais indicadores da economia brasileira. O modelo GTAP é adotado como instrumento metodológico. Somente alguns setores do agronegócio mostraram-se competitivos. O setor de manufaturados não foi competitivo em nenhum dos cenários. Setores como florestais, têxteis e calçados tiveram aumento significativo de produção e exportação. Os indicadores de crescimento econômico e bem-estar foram favoráveis ao Brasil em todos os cenários, mesmo que o crescimento tenha sido pequeno. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trade barriers protect economies from international competition, but distort trade relations between them, and reducing the benefits that could result from free trade agreements.
