Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyse the spatial distribution of Brazilian exports of manufactured products considering micro regions and technological intensity. The period under analysis is from 1997 to 2014. To achieve this objective, the micro regional exports were divided into high, medium and low technology; an exports concentration index was built and finally, an exploratory analysis of the spatial data was carried out. Results pointed out the existence of exportation clusters for the three types of products, and regarding the low and medium technology products the clusters were seen to be spread throughout Brazil, while the high technology product clusters were seen to be concentrated in the Southeast region.
