Distribuição inter-regional e intersetorial da renda entre Salvador e o restante da Bahia

Abstract

This article investigates the economic interdependence between the city of Salvador, adjacent municipalities, and the rest of the state of Bahia. The analysis focuses on the application of Miyazawa's extended input-output model. The impacts of transfers on income deciles in each division of the state were estimated. The database consists of an Input-Output Matrix of the 2015 Salvador Population Arrangement, organized by Haddad et al. (2020b), as well as microdata from the 2017/2018 Household Budget Survey and the 2010 Demographic Census. The results suggest that few sectors participate in interindustry trade between Salvador and the rest of their respective population arrangement, and between this arrangement and the rest of Bahia. Transfers to families outside the capital have the potential to generate the greatest gains for the state's economy. However, such induced effects end up being greater for the wealthiest families in Salvador, reinforcing local/regional inequalities within Bahia. The results are important for understanding historical income inequalities in the state of Bahia, in addition to the possibility of proposing new regional economic planning policies.
