SUMMARY:

This dissertation aims to conduct a study on Rare Earth Elements (ETR), or simply Rare Earths (TR), as a possible key element for the promotion and consolidation of the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution (or INDUSTRY 4.0) in Brazil. In this sense, this dissertation begins with an INTRODUCTION, presenting a synthesis about the economic trajectory of the two main economic powers of today: the United States and China. CHAPTER 1 deals with the concept of RT, reporting its history, general properties, location, worldwide production and practical applications of these elements in everyday life and in industry. CHAPTER 2 discusses the occurrence of RT in Brazil, the extraction policies behind them, among other particularities. CHAPTER 3 introduces the concept of Industry 4.0 and the conditions favorable to the promotion of this type of industry. CHAPTER 4 suggests an econometric specification to verify whether there is indeed a relationship between the extraction of ETR and the development of Industry 4.0. Once proven, its degree will then be measured: to what extent the extraction of RTEs corroborates the development of Industry 4.0, and how this relationship is presented especially in Brazil. Finally, the last section corroborates the FINAL CONSIDERATIONS on the subject.
