Abstract
Este trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a assimetria na transmissão de preços entre os níveis de produtor e varejo de produtos hortifrutícolas no Estado de São Paulo. O período de análise foi de Junho de 1994 a Abril de 2002, após o Plano Real. O modelo teórico se baseia na transmissão de preços, desenvolvido por Gardner e Heien. Admite-se que os preços sejam ajustados com certa rapidez após a determinação do preço ao produtor, é uma indicação de eficiência de mercado, já que as informações são transmitidas rapidamente. Verificou-se, que as elasticidades de todos os produtos foram estatisticamente menores que um, dada a perecibilidade do produto e do receio de perdas dos comerciantes, estes não transmitem toda a variação de preço. Na análise da assimetria foi constatado para alguns produtos (laranja, tomate), que os varejistas transmitem mais acréscimos do que os decréscimos de preços, enquanto que os produtos batata e banana, os decréscimos de preços foram transmitidos mais que os acréscimos, o que está de acordo com a hipótese de que maior perecibilidade se correlaciona com maior transmissão de decréscimos. --------------------------------------------------- This study aims to analyze the asymmetry in price transmission between levels producer and retail of fresh produce in the State of São Paulo. The examination period was June 1994 to April 2002, after the Real Plan. The theoretical model is based on the transmission prices, developed by Gardner and Heien. It is assumed that prices are adjusted with some quickly after determining the price to the producer, is an indication of market efficiency, since that information is transmitted quickly. It has been found that the elasticities of all Products were statistically smaller than one, given the perishable product and fears losses of traders, they do not convey any price change. In the analysis of asymmetry was found for some products (oranges, tomatoes), retailers convey more additions than the price decreases, while the banana and potato products, the decrements rates were transmitted over that allowances, which is consistent with the hypothesis that perishability higher correlates with greater transmission decreases.
