Concentração industrial e produtividade do trabalho na indústria de transformação nos anos 90: evidências empíricas

This paper discusses the evolution of industrial concentration from 1985 to 1998. In the first part we associate this discussion to the degree of technological intensity in industry. To conduct this investigation, we had to make comparable the industrial classification in 1985, 1994 and 1998. After that, we classified all the industrialsectors according to the intensity in technology. In the second and third parts of this paper we discuss the association of employment and technological intensity and productivity and industrial concentration. We add to this last discussion an investigation about concentration and the participation of foreign capital in industry.
