To this end, a series of indicators was built which shed light on the technical efficiency and allocational effects of the liber-alization. The results obtained suggest that the impacts were, in general, positive and consistent with both predictions of the literature of the international trade and the pat-tern of Brazils industrialization. Yet, they also point to a number of challenges to be faced by State, particularly, with regard to the imperfections that affect international trade in manufacturing and that threaten the gains from trade
