Open-access Economic growth patterns of the MATOPIBA’S municipalities

Abstract:

This paper aims to classify the municipalities of MATOPIBA based on a set of socioeconomic variables, mainly agricultural characteristics, as well as to decompose the growth of the sectorial GVA in the period 2010-2015, in order to identify groups of with competitive advantages and specialization. It was also used cluster and shift-share analysis based on information from IBGE, RAIS and UNDP. More specifically, the shift-share will be realized based on the groups formed by the cluster analysis, which allows a better integration of the methods. The main results show the formation of five groups, being only one of them considered incipient from the point of view of the agriculture dynamism. Shift-share results indicate that this group considered incipient was the only one to present negative VLT and did not present competitive advantage nor to be specialized in Agriculture.
