PEREIRA, Adriano José  e  DATHEIN, Ricardo. The role of transnational corporations in the international insertion of Brazilian manufactures in the context of productive restructuring. Rev. Econ. Polit. [online]. 2016, vol.36, n.4, pp.769-787. ISSN 1809-4538.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0101-31572015v36n04a06.

This study analyzes the influence of the international trade pattern of Transnational Corporations (TNCs) on the international insertion of Brazilian manufacturing industry between 1995 and 2005, based on data of the Census of Foreign Capitals of the Central Bank of Brazil. The work aims to investigate to what extent increased international insertion of TNCs in national economies has contributed to the evolution of Brazilian manufactures in terms of international trade. It has been concluded that the significant participation of TNCs in Brazilian foreign trade reveals that the international insertion of the country's industrial output presents an increasing dependency on strategic decisions of TNCs.
