Abstract
This study aims to measure the effects of an agreement betwe-en Mercosur and the European Union (EU) on production, consumption and trade flows of rice, maize, soybeans and wheat in several regions. To estimate the effects of this agreement we used a spatial allo-cation model presented as a Mixed Complementarity Problem. As a result, we identify the variations in Producer’s Surplus for the scenarios Mercosur-EU and Mercosur-extended EU, considering the elimination of tariff barriers and/or subsidies. In general, the highest gains for grain producers in the Mercosur countries happen in the Mercosur-EU scenario with the elimination of subsidies by the European countries. However, we emphasize that total gains for the Mercosur countries are positive, but the wheat sector shows significant losses in this scenario.....Este estudo busca mensurar os efeitos do acordo entre o Mercosul e a União Européia (UE) sobre a produção, consumo e fluxos comerciais de arroz, milho, soja e trigo nas diversas regiões analisadas. Para avaliar os efeitos deste acordo utilizamos um modelo de alocação espacial apresentado como um Problema de Complementaridade Mista (PCM). Como resultado, o presente estudo identifica as variações no Excedente do Produtor (EP) nos cenários Mercosul-UE e Mercosul-UE ampliada considerando a eliminação das barreiras tarifárias e/ou subsídios. Em termos gerais, os maiores ganhos para os produtores de grãos dos países do Mercosul ocorrem no cenário Mercosul-UE com eliminação dos subsídios por parte dos países da UE. No entanto, salienta-se que, embora os ganhos totais para os países do Mercosul sejam positivos, o setor tritícola apresenta perdas significativas neste cenário.
