Abstract

Utilizamos Fronteiras Estocásticas para estimar nível e a evolução recente da eficiência produtiva das regiões brasileiras. Os resultados estão disponíveis para a agricultura, indústria e serviços, assim como para a produção agregada. Constatamos um substancial crescimento da eficiência no setor agrícola nacional, o que é contrabalançado pelo fraco desempenho do setor de serviços. Os resultados regionais mostram que os níveis de eficiência ainda replicam, em geral, a desigualdade que tem marcado o país por décadas. No entanto, as estimativas de crescimento da eficiência revelam novos sinais de convergência entre os estados, especialmente para a indústria, com efeitos na produção agregada. Isso indica que a tendência de desigualdade da eficiência produtiva pode estar começando a mudar.
