Análise da inserção produtiva do setor da construção civil no estado de Minas Gerais

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the relative importance of the civil construction in Minas Gerais state, in 2015. For this, an input-output matrix structure was adopted, considering 22 productive sectors, in three distinct regions, namely: Belo Horizonte (R1), rest of the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte (R2), and rest of the state (R3). Then, we applied: i) production and employment multipliers analysis; ii) Rasmussen-Hirschman indexes, and iii) the hypothetical extraction method. The main results showed that civil construction is directly or indirectly associated with 12,29% of the gross value of production (GVP) and 1,15 million jobs in the state. We conclude that civil construction's participation in production take an important role in the state. However, the relative important of this sector shift in a regional point of view. Finally, we argue that policy makers could consider the regional influence of the sectors in public policies.
