Abstract
For the last ten years, Brazilian commodity share in its exports has grown due to the commodity boom in the 2000s. Nowadays, Brazil is one of the biggest producers of commodities in the world. However, the growth of the commodity sector in the economy has not been followed by the industrial sector, suggesting that the decrease of industrial production might be caused by a deindustrialization happening in Brazil. This thesis aims to study the interrelationship between these sectors using the variables: industrial production, petroleum export value, iron ore export value, coffee export value and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Brazil. The econometric model was used and it confirmed the interrelationship of the variables, however with surprise results. Commodity export do affect industrial production, but in a positive manner and GDP also, however mainly in a negative way.
