FACTORS OF PRODUCTION AND AGRICULTURE IN BRAZIL

Resumo

Agricultural production is closely related to Brazilian economic history. Deep transformations in the use of production factors, such as land, labor, and technology, have marked this trajectory over time. This article aims to analyze and estimate the use of production factors in agriculture in Brazilian municipalities in 2006 and 2017. A spatial econometric analysis was used as a methodology. The results indicated the technology and labor as important factors for agricultural production. The variable related to land extension was not significant. It can be also seen that spatiality also influences the value of agricultural production, given the spillover effect.
