SUMMARY:

To think about the regional issue is to understand that there is a need to overcome certain disparities reproduced in the territory, from different perspectives, be they intra or interregional. The present dissertation had as general objective to analyze the productive structure of the Brazilian regions and the determinants of the inter-municipal income inequalities in Brazil. Both themes were studied in the light of the theory of regional economics. The research data are of a secondary nature and as a methodological procedure the shift-share method was used to analyze the regional productive structure, and spatial econometrics techniques to analyze the intermunicipal income inequality in Brazil. The time frame is equivalent to the years 2000 to 2017, comprising periods of economic growth and crisis in the Brazilian economy. The results show that sectors such as commerce and services generated more jobs in the period of crisis to the detriment of the sectors of industry and construction, which have negative impacts on the labor market. The agricultural sector showed strong seasonality in all periods of analysis. With regard to inter-municipal income inequality, a large regional difference was observed, since the Low-Low clusters prevail in the North and Northeast regions, while the High-High clusters are largely located in the Center-South of the country. Through the econometric exercise, it was diagnosed by the Hausman and Lagrange Multiplier tests that the most suitable model is the Spatial Panel Fixed Effects Lag Model. The results showed that the Gini indicators, infant mortality rate, infrastructure, population density and GDP per capita of a municipality positively and directly impact the increase in income differences in this same municipality and indirectly in the income differentials of neighboring municipalities. However, when analyzing the total effect of the other variables, the opposite is observed. An increase of 1% in the average education indicator and a greater supply of electricity generate a total positive effect with regard to the reduction of social, regional and income inequalities, both in the municipality in question and in its neighbors, causing a reduction in income differences. In general, it was observed that the characteristics of the regional productive structure end up concentrating a greater economic dynamism in the Center-South, compared to the more backward regions such as North and Northeast. In addition, it is concluded that this inequality is also seen in the indicator of per capita income differentials and their determinants.
