Economic Liberalization and Industrial Performance in Brazil

Zusatztext Particular reference to the non-serial capital goods sector. It is by focusing on this key sector that the author sets his book apart from the wealth of general studies of the changing policy environment. Informationen zum Autor Dr Edmund Amann is a Fellow at the Centre for Brazilian Studies, Oxford Klappentext Using a comprehensive array of primary and secondary sources and in-depth company case studies, this book examines how one vitally important Brazilian industrial sector, the non-serial capital goods sector, coped with the onset of liberalization. While liberalization undoubtedly helped to promote greater efficiency in some areas of corporate performance, the impact elsewhere was far less favorable. This differentiated response raises some interesting and troubling theoretical and policy issues. Zusammenfassung The 1990s have seen the Brazilian economy undergo a wave of liberalization as trade barriers have fallen, privatizations have become implemented, and government procurement has been cut back. This work examines the impact of this on an advanced industrial sector in Latin America's largest economy.
