MONTEIRO NETO, Aristides y DE OLIVEIRA SILVA, Raphael. REGIONAL DECONCENTRATION OF INDUSTRY IN BRAZIL: REASONS TO CELEBRATE?. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2019, vol.22, n.50, pp.129-150. ISSN 0120-6346. https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v22n50a7.
The article analyzes the deconcentration of the industry and its implications in the national territory between 1996 and 2015 and uses a set of indicators, such as rate of industrial transformation (RIT), industry productivity and Theil index of inequality for five industry groups, defined according to the principal competitive factor. It concludes by the continuity of the regional deconcentration movement of industrial activities. However, it stresses that there are also reasons to be concerned: one is that the deconcentration occurs in an environment of loss of relevance of industrial activity and another is that the deconcentration is more significant in the intensive branches of natural resources and work, traditional sectors with low production capacity and dissemination of technical progress.
