RESUMO

The Supermarket sector in Brazil went through deep transformations in the decade of 1990, such as: a) the process of consolidation of the largest companies; b) commercial automation; and c) use of electronic transfer of information. The objective of the study is to analyze the impact of the modifications occurred in this sector on the economy, using the input-output theory. To do so, the new Supermarkets sector were extracted from the Trade sector of the input-output matrix of Brazil for the years 1990, 1995 and 1999 and the economic indicators referring to the employment, income, production, taxes, and inter-sector linkages were calculated for all the sectors of the economy. For the years 1995 and 1999 a new methodology was also applied for sectorial analysis of the supermarket sector, which consists of incorporating the values, at basic prices, of the goods traded as operational costs in the Supermarket sector. Besides, the sectorial gross domestic product (GDP) of the new Supermarket sector was estimated for the years indicated previously. The main conclusions of the research are that the Supermarket sector is an important one in generating employment, income, production and sales taxes (ICMS) for the period 1990-1999. The GDP of the Supermarket complex is of approximately 5% of the national GDP. For the year of 1999, values obtained using the new methodology show that the supermarkets were capable to generate, for a variation of R$ 1 million of the final demand: a) 154 new jobs; b) R$ 400 thousand in wages; and c) R$ 110 thousand in taxes (ICMS). The largest impact of the variation of the supermarkets production in terms of employment generating, income and production occurs on the following sectors: a) Agricultural; b) Other Food Products; c) Processing of Vegetable Products; d) Dairy Industry; e) Trade; f) Services Rendered to Families; and g) Rents. The impact on the Agricultural and Food industry happens mainly by indirect effect and on the sectors of services by induced effect. Other industries started to indicate a larger influence of the sales of the supermarkets on its production, employment and income, mainly in Plastic Goods, Clothing and Services Rendered to the Companies. This indicates: a) the diversification of the products marketed by the supermarkets, mainly non-food items, related with the opening of hypermarkets; and b) larger expenses with marketing and other services rendered to the companies.
