Abstract

ABSTRACT Sophisticated spatial labour markets can promote better opportunities for functional upgrading in value-added trade. This paper estimates the skill-based functional specialization in Brazilian labour factor content in trade in value-added (LTiVA), considering different geographical scales. We combined an interregional input–output model for Brazilian states with occupational data to identify the skill intensity embedded in LTiVA based on the hypothetical extraction method (HEM) technique. Our findings show that the largest Southeastern economic area specializes in highly sophisticated functions, while the rest of the country embodies low skills in value-added trade for domestic and global trade levels. Furthermore, the results reveal a central role for the São Paulo state governing the subnational value chains and reinforcing the international uneven spatial functional division pattern at the subnational level.

基于技能的贸易职能专业化：巴西多等级价值链的投入产出分析

复杂的空间劳动力市场可以促进增值贸易功能升级的更好机会。考虑到不同的地理尺度，本文估计了巴西增值贸易中劳动力要素含量的基于技能的功能专业化。我们将巴西各州的区域间投入产出模型与职业数据相结合，基于假设提取法（HEM）技术来识别LTiVA中的技能强度。我们的研究结果表明，东南部最大的经济区专门从事高度复杂的功能，而该国其他地区在国内和全球贸易水平的增值贸易方面技能较低。此外，研究结果揭示了圣保罗州在管理国家以下各级价值链和加强国家以下各级国际不均衡的空间功能划分模式方面的核心作用。

期刊介绍： Spatial Economic Analysis is a pioneering economics journal dedicated to the development of theory and methods in spatial economics, published by two of the world"s leading learned societies in the analysis of spatial economics, the Regional Studies Association and the British and Irish Section of the Regional Science Association International. A spatial perspective has become increasingly relevant to our understanding of economic phenomena, both on the global scale and at the scale of cities and regions. The growth in international trade, the opening up of emerging markets, the restructuring of the world economy along regional lines, and overall strategic and political significance of globalization, have re-emphasised the importance of geographical analysis.
