Abstract
O objetivo deste trabalho é detalhar a metodologia da construção de indicadores de consumo aparente (CA) de bens da indústria brasileira – que corresponde à produção industrial doméstica acrescida das importações e diminuída das exportações – e apresentar os resultados, com periodicidade mensal. Esse indicador é importante tendo em vista a dificuldade de construir medidas tempestivas da demanda de bens industriais, ao passo que os dados de oferta são abrangentes e diversificados. Assim, partindo-se da ideia de equilíbrio entre oferta e demanda, o CA constitui-se em uma boa proxy do comportamento da demanda de bens industriais. Os índices são calculados, a partir de janeiro de 1998, para diferentes níveis de agregação da indústria: indústria geral; indústria de transformação; bens classificados segundo categorias de uso (bens de capital, bens intermediários, bens de consumo duráveis, semiduráveis e não duráveis); e setores de atividade da indústria de transformação brasileira, conforme a Classificação Nacional de Atividades Econômicas (CNAE), desenvolvida pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Apresenta-se também o cálculo do indicador de formação bruta de capital fixo (FBCF), que se baseia no CA de bens de capital e que procura replicar o cálculo da FBCF utilizado no Sistema de Contas Nacionais Trimestrais (CNT) do IBGE. The aim of this paper is to describe in details the methodology used to construct the apparent consumption indicators of industrial goods in the Brazilian economy – defined as domestic production plus imports minus exports – and report the results. This indicator is important in view of the difficulties to obtain timely measures for industrial goods demand, whereas supply data are comprehensive and diversified. Departing from the principle of supply and demand equilibrium, the apparent consumption is a good proxy to demand behavior. The indices shown in this text are calculated in a monthtly basis since january, 1998, for different aggregated levels of industrial goods: general industry, manufacturing industry, capital goods industry, intermediate goods industry, consumer good industry (durables, semidurables and non-durables) and 22 different sectors of activity, as defined in the National Classification of Economic Activities (CNAE) of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). This paper also shows the method to obtain a monthly indicator for the gross fixed capital formation of the Brazilian economy, that is based on the apparent consumption of capital goods and that aims to replicate the methodology used by IBGE to obtain the measure of the gross fixed capital formation in the System of National Accounts.
