Geographical proximity and technological intensity in manufacturing: evidence from the periphery of the São Paulo-Brasília axis at the beginning of the 21st century

“…It was merely a question of time before it arrived in Ribeirão Preto, which at that time was already a prosperous industrial nucleus in the interior of São Paulo (NEGRI, 1996). The first intervention towards this direction was undertaken in 1953 with the construction of an unpaved road (MESQUITA, 2011).…”

“…This process made it attractive for the food industries to migrate to the region, because they could increase the economies of scale with the proximity of production that was established in Central Brazil, especially of soybean (CASTRO;FONSECA, 1995). At the time, because there were few regional centers that until then had formed in the Midwest, Uberlândia became the center for resources in that region and began to attract agro-industries (MESQUITA, 2011). The second phase, linked to the sugarcane agro-industry, occurred during the first decade of the 2000s, when there were more intense signs of depletion on the frontier of the more traditional zones of São Paulo (FIGUEIRA;PEDROSA;BELIK, 2013).…”
