The aim of this paper is to verify the interdependence between the productive structure of the state of Minas Gerais and the rest of Brazil. To accomplish that, we use data from the inter-regional input-output table Minas Gerais/rest of the Brazil, 1996 (BDMG, FIPE/USP, 2001) in its modified version for 40 sectors (Haddad and Domingues, 2003). The measure of sectoral interdependence was calculated using the method of hypothetical extraction (Dietzenbacher et al, 1993). In order to capture the dependence of Minas Gerais and the rest of Brazil on the rest of the world, the external sector was taken from the final demand vector and was incorporated in the intersectoral transaction matrix.
