RESUMO

This paper aims to identify and analyze Brazil s exports to the rest of the Southern Common Market - Mercosur in 2008 by groups of products exported, based on the percentage of dollars traded and on the use of labor-skilled or not, as factor of production. This way, sectors are identified in descending order of percentage of exports, which together concentrate half of Brazilian exports to the rest of the bloc, which, since its original formation, consists of four countries: Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. It is also identified based on the Heckscher-Ohlin model, which labor force prevails. The analysis of these data lead to the conclusion that this business relationship, only three sectors of the Brazilian economy now constitute more than half of exports, and that they are labor-educated workforce.
