Abstract

The main objective of this study was to estimate the impacts of externalities in the labor market analyzed by degrees of specialization, related and unrelated variety of mobility on Brazilian’s regional growth from 1996 to 2008. Thus, the growth rate of the average remuneration was used as regional growth’s measure. The model was estimated using Generalized Moment Methods (GMM) due to possible endogeneity issues existing between mobility and regional growth. The results indicated that the degree of intra-regional specialization is the main driver of the regional growth in the period, indicating that in Brazil the knowledge similarity in skilled labor’s flow has a greater impact on regional growth.
