Aglomeração industrial no Brasil: um estudo empírico

Abstract

O artigo mede a aglomeração industrial para a indústria de transformação no Brasil em 1995 e 2001. Consideram-se medidas recentemente desenvolvidas por Ellison e Glaeser (1997), Maurel e Sédillot (1999) e Devereux et al. (2004) que se amparam em microdados e que possuem sólido fundamento teórico. A evidência indicou que uma substancial heterogeneidade estava presente entre os diferentes setores. Entre os líderes existem setores com conteúdos tecnológicos bastante distintos que apenas parcialmente coincidem com os encontrados na França e no Reino Unido. Adicionalmente, pode-se observar mudanças substanciais nos padrões de aglomeração industrial entre 1995 e 2001.<br>The article measures industrial agglomeration in the Brazilian manufacturing industry in 1995 and 2001. It considers measures that were recently developed by Ellison and Glaeser (1997), Maurel and Sédillot (1999) and Devereux et al. (2004) that rely in microdata and are theoretically sound. The evidence indicated that a substantial heterogeneity was present across the different sectors. Among the leaders there are sectors with very different technological content that only partially coincide with the leading sectors in France and United Kingdom. Moreover, one can observe substantial changes in the agglomeration patterns between 1995 and 2001

Measures of Industry Agglomeration in Brazil: A Study Addressing Neighboring Effects

“…These findings corroborate the results reported by Resende and Wyllie (2005) and Lautert and Araújo (2007). These authors showed that the most concentrated sectors comprise both activities that use natural materials as input (e.g., those related to Leather and Shoes) and activities that involve more technology and investments (e.g., those related to Coke, Nuclear Fuel, Ethanol, and Oil).…”

“…A study developed by Resende and Wyllie (2005) assessed the industrial agglomeration of the manufacturing industry in Brazil in 1995 and 2001. It used the measures developed by Ellison and Glaeser (1997) with support by micro data compiled with a sound theoretical foundation.…”

“…The concentration measures proposed by Ellison and Glaeser (1997) and Maurel and Sedillot (1999) can be considered as more general indices aimed at controlling size difference across multiple industrial sectors in relation to the industry as a whole (RESENDE;WYLLIE, 2005).…”

“…Most studies taking Krugman's (1991) approach and measures of spatial concentration to understand Brazilian industry have focused on aggregate analyses of the industry. Only recently have some studies been developed focusing on the analysis of concentration at cross-sectoral levels (cf., among others, SOUZA, 2002;RESENDE;WYLLIE, 2005;LAUTERT;ARAÚJO, 2007). To the best of our knowledge, however, the measures of concentration used in such studies have been limited to information within each areal unit, thus neglecting neighboring effects.…”

Divergência E Distribuição Industrial No Rio Grande Do Sul (1985-2003)

“…Algumas das características abordadas nessa literatura podem ser presenciadas em outros Países, a exemplo do Brasil, como salientado em Pacheco (1999), Resende et al (2004) e Lage (2002), da mesma maneira que em uma análise regional, ver Suzigan et al (2001Suzigan et al ( , 2003.…”
