"The Impact of Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) on the Brazilian Economy"
by SILVA,, MYGRE, Daniel Coronel and RODRIGO SILVA,


Abstract
The objective of this study is to assess the impact of the creation of a free trade area between the United States and the European Union (EU), i.e. Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) on the Brazilian economy, specifically in the five macro-regions. To this end, we used the General Equilibrium (GTAPinGAMS) model from the database of the General Equilibrium Analysis Project of the Brazilian Economy (PAEG). Thus, we estimated two scenarios; the first with the removal of import tariffs between the EU and the USA, and the second approached full trade liberalization. In the first scenario, the economic impacts on the Brazilian regions were mostly negative, undermining mainly the sectors of clothing, footwear, and the textile industry. In the second scenario, both Brazilian agricultural and export sectors were positively influenced. However, the clothing, footwear, and manufactured sectors were the ones that had higher efficiency loss.
