| Abstract | |
The purpose of this study was to estimate the impacts of the port procedures time on Brazilian exports. The study uses an innovative database with municipal exports, with distinction over the port used, country of destination, and with disaggregated products according to the harmonized system in 4 digits for the period from 2010 to 2012. A difference gravity equation was estimated by the fixed effect method using the relative municipal exports (volume and the number of exporter sectors) against time measured in hours of the port procedures and other control variables. The results of descriptive analysis indicate the presence of a bottleneck in the flow of Brazilian production for the international market, and point to the need for investments that increase port capacity, reducing the inefficiencies that generate high ineffectiveness time percentages in Brazilian ports. The estimation results indicate that, in general, each additional hour in the conduction of the port procedures represent costs to the Brazilian exporters. Those costs may be reflected in loss of competitiveness of the domestic products abroad. According to the estimates made, each additional hour of the ship stay in the median port is equivalent to a reduction of the municipal exports in around 1%. Besides that, a reduction of 10% in time of stay for a ship in port can increase the number of exported product categories between 0.3% and 0.9%. (AU) | |
