AGLOMERAÇÃO ESPACIAL, COOPERAÇÃO E INOVAÇÃO NA INDÚSTRIA BRASILEIRA: UMA ANÁLISE CROSS-SECTOR EXPLORATÓRIA

Abstract

The article develops a cross-sector analysis in which we attempt to articulate the sector distribution of productive agglomerations in Brazilian economy with data about cooperative arrangements and innovative performance of industrial sectors, using data extracted from RAIS-MT carried out by the Ministry of Labor and from PINTEC, the innovation survey carried out by IBGE. The paper is divided into five sections. The first one describes the methodology used in the study. The second section presents an analysis of the sector distribution of the productive agglomerations in Brazilian economy. The third section presents a general view about the innovative performance of the industrial sectors, as well as a discussion about the presence of cooperative arrangements in those sectors. The forth section presents a statistical exercise in which those information are integrated in order to map different clusters of similar activities in the industrial sector. Finally, a conclusion section presents some possible implications of the analysis.
