SUMMARY:

The main objective of this thesis is to analyze the Brazilian regional dynamics and inequality in terms of the productive structure and the labor market. The research is developed by using the theoretical framework of structuralism and elements of the economic complexity literature, emphasizing points of convergence that contribute to the understanding of regional development. Based on data from the formal labor market, the Economic Complexity Index (ECI) proposed by Hidalgo and Hausmann (2009) is adapted to better capture the internal dynamics of the Brazilian economy. In this way, Regional Economic Complexity Indexes (ECIr) are proposed and calculated to measure the productive structure of subnational entities. The time frame comprises the years 2007 to 2020 and the empirical investigations cover the Brazilian federation units, mesoregions and microregions. Based on the ECI-r, this research aims to investigate how inequalities materialize in the territory, focusing on the regional productive structure, but also seeking to understand to which extent the level of economic complexity is related to labor market conditions.
