Análise comparada da estrutura produtiva da Finlândia e da Grécia para o ano de 2007: uma abordagem insumo-produto

Abstract

The present study aims to comparatively analyze the productive structures of Finland and Greece to understand why Greece encountered greater difficulties than Finland to regain its GDP growth after the economic and financial crisis of 2008. It starts with the hypothesis that Finland managed to recover more quickly due to its productive structure that has sectors with higher multipliers than Greece, enabling high linkages between the industries of the economy to a one-unit increase in demand in a particular sector. Using Matrices obtained in Timmer (2012) that will be analyzed with Leontief's Input-Output model, the productive structure of these two countries, noting the composition, multipliers, and Rasmussen-Hirschman backward linkage index, that it is possible to compare both countries and identify the possible influence of the productive structure in recovering the GDP growth after the crisis. After analysis, it is concluded that, in fact, the difference between the productive structures influenced the resumption of GDP growth since the multipliers of Finnish industries are larger than those in Greece.
