BRAZILIAN EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURED WOOD

O presente trabalho trata das exporta\ue7\uf5es brasileiras de madeira serrada de n\ue3o con\uedferas, laminados e compensados durante o per\uedodo de 1961 a 2002. Os dados referentes aos tr\ueas produtos estudados foram agregados pelo m\ue9todo de Fisher para que pudesse ser feita uma avalia\ue7\ue3o econom\ue9trica do mercado dos tr\ueas produtos. Foram especificados modelos de oferta e demanda das exporta\ue7\uf5es brasileiras e estas estimados pelo m\ue9todo de M\uednimos Quadrados Ordin\ue1rios (MQO). Os resultados foram satisfat\uf3rios e condizem com a literatura. A oferta de exporta\ue7\uf5es apresentou uma resposta positiva em rela\ue7\ue3o \ue0 remunera\ue7\ue3o do exportador, \ue0 produ\ue7\ue3o, \ue0 utiliza\ue7\ue3o da capacidade instalada e \ue0 tend\ueancia, e negativo em rela\ue7\ue3o \ue0 demanda interna. A demanda pelas exporta\ue7\uf5es brasileiras foi positivamente influenciada pela renda mundial, \uedndice de participa\ue7\ue3o e tend\ueancia, e negativamente pelo pre\ue7o relativo. A baixa elasticidade-pre\ue7o da demanda encontrada pode ter implica\ue7\uf5es na conserva\ue7\ue3o dos recursos florestais brasileiros, pois os exportadores poder\ue3o aumentar os pre\ue7os, diminuir as quantidades e ainda terem um aumento das receitas.The present work deals with the Brazilian exports of sawnwood of non-coniferous, veneer sheets and plywood, from 1961 to 2002. The data regarding the three studied products, sawnwood of non-coniferous, veneer sheets and plywood, were joined through the method of Fisher so that an econometric evaluation of the market of the three products could be carried out. Supply and demand models of the Brazilian exports were specified. The results were satisfactory and they match with the literature. The supply of exports presented a positive answer in relation to the exporter's remuneration, to the production, to the use of the installed capacity (cycles of domestic economical activity) and to the tendency, and negative in relation to the internal demand. The demand for the Brazilian exports was influenced positively by the world income, participation index and tendency, and negatively for the relative price. The low elasticity-price of the found demand can have implications in the conservation of the Brazilian forest resources because the exporters can increase the prices, reduce the amounts and still increase the incomes
