Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the productive structure of Paraná through the indicators of an input-output matrix, focusing on Paraná's inter-regional relations with the South and with the rest of Brazil. For this, a matrix with 68 sectors was used, calibrated for 2011. The results indicate that the lumber, chemical and oil activities are the most relevant for the economy of Paraná. To a lesser extent, agricultural, sugar, cellulose and other food activities also stand out. No relevant differences were found in Paraná in relation to the Brazilian and the southern average structure regarding the intra-regional component of the multipliers, and the value of the sectors' backward linkage indexes. However, with respect to forward linkages, Paraná's oil, timber, agriculture, and other food sectors showed much stronger linkages than the national average, while the oil, timber, and sugar sectors have much higher forward linkages than the southern average.

Keywords: regional economics; Paraná; input-output matrix.
