A ESPECIFICAÇÃO DE MODELOS PARA ANÁLISE ECONÔMICA DO USO DE FERTILIZANTES: UM CASO ENCERRADO?!
Edgar Augusto Lanzer; Quirino Paris.
Resumo
O objetivo deste trabalho é contrastar o ponto de vista dos agrônomos com o dos economistas rurais quanto à especificação de modelos de análise para o estudo das relações entre o rendimento dos cereais e a aplicação de fertilizantes. Os pontos de discórdia expostos pela discussão abrangem: (a) rendimento máximo em forma de ponto único vs. rendimento máximo em forma de teto; (b) isoquantas neoclássicas vs. impossibilidade de substituição entre nutrientes; e (c) generalização via incorporação de variáveis locacionais vs. generalização via conceito de produtividade relativa. As diferenças de opinião conduzem a modelos de análise alternativos, e, possivelmente, podem explicar a existência de dificuldades práticas na promoção de pesquisas integradas.
