Abstract: The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of trade liberalization on the Brazilianmanufacturing industry over the 1989-96 period. To this end, a series of indicators wasbuilt which shed light on the technical efficiency and allocational effects of the liberalization.The results obtained suggest that the impacts were, in general, positive and consistent withboth predictions of the literature of the international trade and the pattern of Brazil’s industrialization.Yet, they also point to a number of challenges to be faced by State, particularly,with regard to the imperfections that affect international trade in manufacturing and thatthreaten the gains from trade.
