Industrial Location and Local Incentive Policies in Brazil: na Empirical Investigation

چکیده
The paper econometrically investigates the determinants of industrial agglomeration in 2001, taking as reference recently developed measures. The considered explanatory variables comprised sector-level variables and local infrastructure and incentive policies variables. The evidence showed that variables reflecting input utilization and knowledge spillovers at sector-level had important impacts on agglomeration. Among variables at the municipality-level only infrastructure factors appeared to exert some effect on agglomeration (in terms of telephone availability). The local incentive policies pertaining tax exemptions and technical support for micro and small firms did not have any important effect on industrial agglomeration. Key-words: industrial agglomeration, incentive policies, local infrastructure
