Setor de serviços: uma análise de insumo-produto inter-regional para São Paulo e o restante do Brasil

Abstract

This study aimed to show which are the main intersectoral relations of purchase and sale of the services sector in the regional economy of São Paulo and in the rest of the country, setting a target to the regional development policies. The main factors that justify the growth of the sector to the world and national economy were highlighted, in addition to the evolution determinants of its productivity. Furthermore, the study showed, by the theoretical basis of Regional Economy, the reasons for the service sector’s concentration in São Paulo and the importance of isolating the region from the rest of the country. Thus, an inter-regional input-output matrix of 2011 was used, aggregated into two regions (São Paulo and Rest of Brazil) and 31 sectors. Production multipliers and Rasmussen-Hirschman linkage indices were calculated for the sectors of both regions. The hypothetical extraction method was also applied to the segments of the sector. The results showed that the service sector in the state of São Paulo has a greater capacity to production stimulation, in addition to having more relevant segments for economic linkages than the sector in the Rest of Brazil. Moreover, it was shown that the main impacted by the hypothetical extraction of the service sector segments were the segments of the sector itself, especially Trade and Transport. Thus, it can be concluded that, within the service sector, the knowledge-intensive and technological innovation-inducing segments in the state of São Paulo are the main key sectors for the regional and interregional economy.
