Análise da distribuição espacial do PIB agropecuário e do grau de especialização dos municípios do estado de Goiás: 1999 e 2009

Resumo

This study aims to analyze the recent spatial dynamics of agricultural production in Goias, more specifically of agricultural Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 1999 and 2009, starting from the hypothesis that there is inequality in terms of the spatial distribution of that variable. In this sense we provide a general characterization of the agricultural production of Goias, and of its distribution at the county level. Subsequently, having as reference Locational Quotients the analysis approaches the municipalities degree of specialization in agricultural production and seeks to identify patterns of spatial association and the eventual formation of clusters, namely of spatial clusters of municipalities with largest shares of the agricultural GDP in Goias, by means of Moran’s indicators of autocorrelation. The results seem to corroborate the hypothesis of spatial inequality showing in this case a strong concentration of agricultural production in southern and eastern Goias, increased specialization in the primary sector, and finally, the existence and consolidation of clusters during the years analyzed.
