Abstract

This paper proposes a theoretical connection between the ideas of economists Nicholas Kaldor and Giovanni Dosi, based on an analysis of the technological structure of regional output using the input-output methodology created by Wassily Leontief, and applies this connection to the economy of the Brazilian Legal Amazon, specifically the state of Pará. Illustratively, the focus is placed on the mining sector, which accounts for a large share of output in the state. To summarize the findings, applying the Kaldor-Dosi approach made it possible to identify the importance of intersectoral technological diffusion at the international level through global value chains and the effects of these on local economic dynamics. This preliminary application of the Kaldor-Dosi perspective with the aid of the input-output matrix shows that mining is export-oriented and therefore linked to the trajectories of global technologies in the sectors for which it produces inputs.
