Caracterização dos municípios do estado de São Paulo (2010)

Abstract

This monograph analyzes the factors that characterize the municipalities of the state of São Paulo in the year 2010. To this end, techniques of Factor Analysis and Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (ESDA) are employed, including spatial autocorrelation measures and the identification of regional clusters. Four factors are extracted: “Socioeconomic Development,” “Basic Sanitation Infrastructure,” “Markets and Services,” and “Degree of Industrialization,” whose underlying relationships are analyzed with consideration of spatial dependence, including in its bivariate form. The results indicate that municipalities with greater industrial complexity, better infrastructure, and higher urban dynamism directly influence neighboring municipalities, especially in the secondary and tertiary sectors, generating spillover effects. However, this dynamic does not occur uniformly, revealing significant regional disparities and a consolidated structure of dependency between polarizing and polarized municipalities.
