      Abstract

      The aim of this paper is to investigate the short-term effects on the Brazilian economy of IPI reduction in the automotive sector between 2008 and 2009. Using the input-output matrix analysis, the importance of the automotive sector is evident by the results of the linkages indices and employment multipliers. Considering the hypothesis that the IPI tax generated an increase in demand in the sector of 13.4 % during the year 2009, the results of the impact analysis indicate that the effects on the Brazilian economy would be an increase of more than R$32 billions in gross production, around R$10 billions in GDP and more than 211 thousand jobs. Thus, the results generate an ample prediction: the short-term responses to countercyclical fiscal policy operated by aggregate demand, is a Keynesian response, stabilize, which helped to mitigate the negative impacts of the financial crisis in the Brazilian economy.
