Abstract

This paper aimed at analysing the effects of economies of agglomeration (location and urbanization effects) on the industrial productivity of Brazilian municipalities between 2010 and 2017, identifying their possible spillover effects on the neighbourhood as a general and also regarding regional groups. In addition, the effects of location economies of the high/medium‐high and low/medium‐low technology on productivity were analysed. To achieve the aims proposed, an index of industrial development was built as a proxy for the productivity and estimates were calculated using the spatial dynamic panel. As a result, the effects of specialization economies were identified in the country as whole, mainly in the industry with less intense technology. El objetivo de este artículo fue analizar los efectos de las economías de aglomeración (efectos de localización y urbanización) sobre la productividad industrial de los municipios brasileños entre 2010 y 2017, para lo cual se identificaron sus posibles efectos de spillover sobre el barrio en general y también sobre los grupos regionales. Además, se analizaron los efectos de las economías de localización de la tecnología alta/media‐alta y baja/media‐baja sobre la productividad. Para lograr los objetivos propuestos, se elaboró un índice de desarrollo industrial como indicador de la productividad y se calcularon estimaciones utilizando un panel dinámico espacial. Como resultado, se identificaron los efectos de las economías de especialización en el conjunto del país, principalmente en la industria de menor intensidad tecnológica. 本稿では、2010~2017年のブラジルの地方自治体の産業生産性に対する集積の経済の影響(立地と都市化の効果)を分析し、近隣地域へのそのスピルオーバー効果を、全体的に、また地域集団ごとに特定する。さらに、高度/高~中程度、中~低度/低度の技術の立地経済が生産性に与える影響を分析する。これらの目的を達成するため、生産性のプロキシとして産業開発の指標を作成し、空間ダイナミックパネルデータを用いて推計を行う。結果として、主に技術の程度が低い産業において、専門化の経済の影響が国全体で認められた。
