Abstract (Translated):
This paper aims to investigate structural transformations in Brazilian regional disparities. It puts focus on concentration/deconcentration movements presented in the industrial activities. It examines reasons why industrial sector has been moving from the state of São Paulo to other regions in Brazil, particularly, to the South. Special results were shown and they say that deconcentration continues to occur in the 1996-2015 period. However, the most prominent industrial activities related to higher aggregate values and productivity levels remain located in high-developed areas.
