“…Coelho Junior, et al (2010) corroborate the previous statements by noting that the pulp and paper industry is capital intensive and that pulp production is marked by its inherent economies of scale, by the necessity of large initial investments and a long maturation period of the project, besides requiring an existing technological capacity.…”

-One of the fastest growing sectors in the domestic industry is the forestry, which has contributed significantly to economic development, job creation, income taxes, putting Brazil in a prominent position in the world market. This paper analyzes the evolution of the technological intensity of 12 main products exported by the sector, from 2000 to 2011. For that, utilizes an indicator called PRODY, which allows classifying different products according to their technological intensity or income content and considers the GDP per capita of exporting countries of each product, weighted by its revealed comparative advantage. It can be seen by the results, a continuous growth in all products' technology indicators and their decomposition into income effects, comparative advantage and joint effects, allowed to verify the main causes of this growth. Products with lower PRODY values are those that presented a higher evolution during the period studied. Products of higher processing, and those from pulp and paper industry, had greater technological advances, thanks to a joint effect, while the ones of lower processing, had a technological improvement due to the increase in GDP per capita in exporting countries. Sawn wood was the standout product, being the only one who proved to be dependent of comparative advantage effect, confirming that this industry has been reinventing itself and incorporating, in fact, more technology. This study revealed the importance of technological intensification to generate comparative advantage and be able to stand against international competition.Keywords: Technological intensity; Forestry sector; Exports. AVALIAÇÃO DA INTENSIDADE TECNOLÓGICA DAS EXPORTAÇÕES NO SETOR FLORESTALRESUMO -Um dos setores de maior crescimento na indústria nacional é o florestal que tem contribuído significativamente para o desenvolvimento econômico, geração de empregos, renda, impostos, colocando o Brasil em posição de destaque no mercado mundial. Esse trabalho analisa a evolução da intensidade tecnológica dos 12 principais produtos exportados pelo setor, no período de 2000 a 2011. Para tanto, fez-se uso de um indicador chamado PRODY, que permite classificar os diferentes produtos de acordo com a sua intensidade tecnológica, ou conteúdo de renda, levando em consideração o PIB per capita dos países exportadores de cada produto, ponderado pela sua vantagem comparativa revelada. Pelos resultados encontrados percebe-se um crescimento contínuo no indicador de tecnologia de todos os produtos, enquanto a sua decomposição nos efeitos renda, vantagem comparativa e misto, permitiu verificar as principais causas desse crescimento. Os produtos com menores valores PRODY são os que apresentaram uma maior evolução no período estudado. Os de maior processamento, e aqueles da indústria de papel e celulose, tiveram maior incremento tecnológico, graças a um efeito misto, enquanto que, os de menor processamento, tiveram um incremento tecnológico explicado pelo aumento no PIB per capita dos países exportadores. A madeira serr...

“…The measurement of concentration indices infers in the analysis of the pulp subsector structure and is evident in the competitiveness dimension of the exporting countries. The concentration indices synthesize a concept of multiple dimensions such as supply and demand, technological capacity, and cost structure, among others (POSSAS, 1999;COELHO JUNIOR et al, 2010).…”

“…The Gini coefficient varies between 0 (situation of zero inequality in the market) and 1 (absolute inequality). At the suggestion of Coelho Junior et al (2010), the following classification was used to evaluate the results: 0 to 0.1 representing zero inequality; 0.101 to 0.250 representing zero to weak inequality; 0.251 to 0.500 representing weak to medium inequality; 0.501 to 0.700 representing average to strong inequality; 0.701 to 0.900 representing strong to very strong inequality; and 0.900 to 1.000 representing very strong to absolute inequality.…”

This study analyzed the evolution and degree of the global concentration of pulp exports from 1961 to 2014. In order to measure and analyze the concentration, the following indicators were used: Concentration Ratio [CR(k)]; Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI); Theil Entropy Index (E); Hall and Tideman Index (HTI); Comprehensive Concentration Index (CCI); and Gini Coefficient (G). We concluded that there was a tendency of growth in the global pulp exports during the analyzed period due to an increase in demand driven by population growth and to per capita consumption, enhancing the increase in the number of exporting countries. The CR(k) of the global pulp exporting countries showed that the four [CR(4)] and eight [CR(8)] largest countries present a high concentration, with an oligopolistic market structure and competitive advantage. About 100% of exports are dominated by the 20 largest countries [CR(20)]. The HHI, E, HTI, and CCI indicators showed that there is a concentration in global pulp exportation and presented a deconcentrating tendency. Despite the increase in the number of exporting countries, there was no significant reduction in the inequality of global pulp exports. According to the Gini Coefficient, the inequality was strong to absolute.
