| description | Since the car was invented many innovations have been developed; these, however, have been more concerned with increasing speed, power of the motor and weight of the car than with the reduction of fuel consumption. The result is that the auto industry has been classified by the authors as Abramovay (2012) and Lovins, Lovins e Hawken (2013) as an inefficient industry. Moreover, given the consequences generated by the significant increase of greenhouse gas emissions, massive traffic jams, something that until one time was observed only in large cities, among other, the development of technologies that reduce fuel consumption is of great importance. In this respect, the current emphasis is the technology of hybrid and electric cars. In this research beyond the discussion about the “inefficiency” of the automobile industry and hybrid and electric cars, the goal is also to analyze the degree of concentration in the Brazilian automobile market. The results of the concentration ratio (CR3 and CR4) and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicated a high concentration of the market, despite the reduction in inequality between firms. |

Desde que o automóvel foi inventado muitas foram asinovações desenvolvidas; estas, entretanto, estiveram mais preocupadas com o aumento da velocidade, potência do motor e peso dos automóveis do que com a redução do consumo de combustíveis. Disto resulta que a indústria automobilística tem sido classificada por autores como Abramovay (2012) e Lovins, Lovins e Hawken (2003) como uma indústria ineficiente. Ademais, dadas as consequências geradas pelo aumento expressivo da frota de automóveis, tanto no Brasil quanto no mundo todo, o que inclui aumento das emissões de gases poluentes, enormes engarrafamentos, algo que até certa época era somente observado em cidades grandes, entre outros, o desenvolvimento de tecnologias que reduzam o consumo de combustíveis é de grande importância. Neste aspecto, o destaque atual é a tecnologia de automóveis híbridos e elétricos. Na presente pesquisa além da discussão sobre a “ineficiência” da indústria automobilística e dos automóveis híbridos e elétricos, o objetivo é analisar também o grau de concentração do mercado brasileiro de automóveis. Os resultados da razão de concentração (CR3 e CR4) e do índice de Herfindahl-Hirschman (HHI) indicaram uma alta concentração de mercado, apesar da redução da desigualdade entre as empresas. 2015-11-19 2022-03-18T19:20:58Z 2022-03-18T19:20:58Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artigo avaliado pelos Pares https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/iniciativa/article/view/7393 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/64932 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/iniciativa/article/view/7393/5562 Copyright (c) 2015 Revista Iniciativa Econômica application/pdf Departamento de Economia Revista Iniciativa Econômica; v. 2 n. 1 (2015) 2358-5951 |
