Mensuração dos custos de transação e de transformação do vinho de açaí: um estudo sobre os "batedores" de açaí no Bairro do Guamá em Belém

“Açaí whisk” is the term popularly used to refer to the small entrepreneur who works at a fixed point of production and sale in the cities of the Northern Region of the Brazilian Amazon. It is characterized, in general, as a point where, at the same time, the processing and sale of fresh açaí pulp takes place for different segments of the popular and urban consumption market in the region. On the other hand, economic theory usually differentiates between the so-called accounting costs and economic costs, with economic costs normally considered difficult to measure. Among the modern theories used as a microeconomic basis for analyzing the cost structure of companies, we can highlight the so-called Institutionalist Theory, which has made it possible to advance in economic cost evaluation strategies, providing conditions to evaluate them quantitatively from the point of view, including the measurement of accounting costs. As an objective, efforts were made to identify and calculate the so-called transaction costs, so widely used in institutionalist analyses, and to add them to the calculations of transformation costs, and, as a consequence, to determine the cost of producing 1 liter of wine from the açaí produced in ventures associated with açaí beaters in the Metropolitan Region of Belém. The metric adopted was Activity and Time Based Costing (TDABC). According to the general objectives and to provide greater familiarity with the problem, exploratory research was used. As for the method of data collection, it was designed to use the field survey. The result shows that, in the Amazon summer, the cost of 1 liter of açaí is R$ 18.93, in the winter, it costs R$ 25.60. Furthermore, when the firm is recognized as a governance structure, and not a mere production function, the market governance structure advocated by Williamson (1985) is the most prominent, which favors cost reduction. As a limitation, the pandemic scenario and the schooling of the scouts stand out, which, in part, limited data collection. Further research is suggested on the use of açaí seed, which has, as a rule and after wine production, its disposal in the form of urban waste, as well as, among others, the measurement or valuation of the point of production and sale of acai.

Mudança institucional e diversidade territorial na Amazônia Oriental Brasileira: o papel do mercado de terra como causa estrutural para o fenômeno do desmatamento

Deforestation is one of the main problems of the Amazon. The explanation of the causes of this environmental degradation tends to be done under the market relations (supply and demand), that is, with the use of neoclassical economic theory. By this theory, socio-environmental problems are reduced to market issues so that issues are considered externalities whose solution is the definition of property rights and the regulation of forms of use (command and control). In the case of the Amazon, deforestation would be linked to the demand for commodities that would act as an incentive to the devastation of new areas. However, the neoclassical view focuses only on immediate economic relations focused on the real economy (production, distribution and consumption). Thus, the neoclassical theory ignores the possibility of the earth being an asset with specific characteristics, with market and that can be transacted in the present or in the future, turning into a reason for speculation. Thus, this thesis raises the hypothesis that deforestation is a result of the constitution of land market. To test this hypothesis, this essay follows the theories of the New Economic Sociology and New Institutional Economics, which have the potential to explain the historical processes and the institutional changes that have taken place in the Amazonian territory that have resulted in the expansion of the agricultural frontier, expanding the possibilities of technological trajectories and in transformations in the institutional arrangements that helped to create the market for factors, including the land market, which is one of the drivers of Amazonian deforestation
