A MIGRAÇÃO COMO VARIÁVEL ENDÓGENA: CARACTERIZAÇÃO DO PROCESSO DE TRANSFORMAÇÃO DAS REGIÕES DE INFLUÊNCIA DOS PÓLOS ECONÔMICOS BRASILEIROS

Abstract

This paper aims to offer demographic inputs to improve criteria of economic regionalization based on the polarization approach, which takes into account the urban network and its hierarchy. From a methodological perspective of an integrated analysis of economic and demographic factors of polarization, we incorporate in the regionalization method the population movements among geographical localities at the micro-spatial level. The final step is the development of an economic regionalization that integrates economic and demographic variables of flow and stock.
