DESINDUSTRIALIZAÇÃO RELATIVA REGIONAL: UM ESTUDO DA DINÂMICA INDUSTRIAL DE MATO GROSSO DO SUL

Abstract

Deindustrialization is a phenomenon with diverse productive and social implications, often representing a systematic reproduction of underdevelopment in Latin American countries. This study conducted a literature review on the subject with the objective of identifying the theoretical foundations that subsequently supported an analysis of the recent industrial dynamics of Mato Grosso do Sul, in parallel with those observed at the national level. To this end, data series were analyzed and the Regional Relative Deindustrialization (DRR) index was estimated in order to verify the hypothesis of relative deindustrialization accompanied by regressive specialization in the region. The research used data from the National and Regional Accounts, obtained from sources such as SEMADESC and IBGE. The results indicate that the state presents an industrial dynamic superior to that of the country as a whole, although characterized by the expansion of less technology-intensive sectors, mainly linked to agribusiness, and with a lower capacity for productive densification.
