Comércio internacional em tempos de crise: exportações de bens e serviços do Brasil e do Mundo (2000-2018)

Abstract

Exports represent an important factor in the economic growth of any country, as they allow the trade balance to become surplus if it exceeds the values imported by a state in a given year. In recent times, alongside the goods sector, service exports have gained tremendous prominence and become of fundamental relevance to the economy of many countries due to their continued development, so we note the need to focus, too, to this segment. However, it was evident that from 2000 to 2018 there were some economic crises, such as 2008, 2012 and 2014, which may have impacted these transactions, which is why we chose to analyze the effects of these events on the final result of exports of goods and services from Brazil, comparing them with those of the rest of the world, through data released by the World Bank, in the eighteen years mentioned.
