CENTER‐DOWN DEVELOPMENT IN PERSPECTIVE: LABOR ABSORPTION AND INTERDEPENDENCE IN BRAZILIAN REGIONAL INDUSTRIES

Luis Suarez‐Villa

Papers in Regional Science, 1983, vol. 53, issue 1, 43-58

Abstract: ABSTRACT This paper investigates the effect of a center‐down pattern of regional development on industrial labor absorption. Sectoral labor reallocation is analyzed in two less developed regions of Brazil with contrasting levels of development and linkage to the most developed region. Labor absorption performances are related to factor use characteristics and the mix of capital and labor intensive industries in each region. An empirical model is tested to determine the degree of interdependence between labor intensive industries in each region and its relation to labor absorption.
