Abstract

This paper aimed to study the production behavior of the coffee production and the existing relationships in the factor markets in the States of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, during the period from 1975 to 2001. Specifically, it is evaluated the sensitiveness of the input use in response to price changes, as well as the interdependence with the produc-tion factor market. For that, the Allen elasticity of substitution approach was used. The input and labor expenditures presented the highest share of the average operational production costs in Minas Gerais and São Paulo. With respect to the substitutability/complementarity among the production factors in the Minas Gerais State, the result suggested that there was a complementarity relationship between land rent and machinery opera-tions; land and labor; machinery and input uses, and a substitutability relationship among the other production factors. On the other hand, for the São Paulo State, it was observed that the variables land rent and labor had been complementary, and the other pairs were substitute factors.....Neste trabalho, estudam-se a transformação no comportamento produtivo da cafeicultura e as relações existentes no mercado de fatores nos Estados de Minas Gerais e São Paulo, no período de 1975 a 2001. Especificamente, avalia-se a sensibilidade do uso dos insumos a alterações nos preços, assim como a interdependência no mercado dos fatores produtivos. Para tanto, utilizou-se a elasticidade de substituição de Allen. As despesas com insumos e mão-de-obra apresentaram as maiores parcelas dos custos operacionais unitários de produção em Minas Gerais e São Paulo. Em relação à substitutibilidade/complementaridade entre os fatores em Minas Gerais, nota-se que havia relação de complementaridade entre aluguel da terra e operações com máquinas, terra e mão-de-obra, e entre máquinas e insumos, e relação de substitutibilidade entre os demais fatores. Já no Estado de São Paulo, observa-se que os fatores aluguel da terra e mão-de-obra foram complementares e os demais substitutos entre si.
