ABSTRACT

Economic complexity (EC) is a proxy for the productive structure of a given geographical space, reflecting the synergy between local productive systems and institutions. This paper examines the evolution of the EC of Brazilian states from 1997 to 2017. The results show that the states with the highest EC are in the Southeast and South regions, and that in some states EC declined or stagnated. These trends are indicative of processes of deindustrialization and financialization and point to the need for a new development path.

摘要

经济复杂性（EC）是给定地理空间的生产结构的代表，反映了地方生产系统和机构之间的协同作用。本文研究了1997年至2017年巴西各州EC的演变。结果表明，EC最高的州位于东南部和南部地区，某些州的EC下降或停滞。这些趋势表明了去工业化和金融化的进程，并指出了一条新的发展道路的必要性。
