With the decomposition of its determinants, the objective of this article is to identify the extent to which Brazil's distance in terms of technological efforts, measured by such indicator, in relation to the average of a set of selected countries, can be attributed to the effects of the industrial structure R&D expenditures made by the different technology groups that make up this industry.
