Resumo
O artigo investiga, do ponto de vista teórico e empírico, os principais determinantes das taxas de crescimento econômico para Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China (BRIC) e África do Sul. Os resultados empíricos da análise de decomposição de variância (ADV) para o crescimento do PIB real revelaram uma predominância do papel da taxa de investimento e da inflação para o crescimento econômico desses países, ainda que outros fatores, como a taxa de juros real (Brasil, Índia e África do Sul), a taxa de câmbio real efetiva (China e Índia), os fluxos de IDE (China e África do Sul) e o crescimento populacional (Índia e Rússia) tenham sido importantes, embora com uma contribuição menor em termos relativos.
Abstract
The paper investigates on theoretical and empirical grounds the main determinants of economic growth for Brazil, Russia, India, China (BRIC) and South Africa. The empirical results from the variance decomposition analysis (VDA) for the real GDP growth reveal a primary role played by the investment rate and inflation to explain economic growth in these countries, but other factors, such as the real interest rate (Brazil, India and South Africa), the real effective exchange rate (China and India), FDI flows (China and South Africa) and population growth (India and Russia) are also important, regardless of their lower relative contribution.
Key words: Economic development. Foreign economic policy. Emerging economies. BRICs
