Abstract

This paper analyzes the deindustrialization hypothesis for the municipalities of the Divinópolis Microregion in Minas Gerais using value added and employment data from 2011 to 2020 to estimate the Deindustrialization Relative Regional Index (DRR).  The analysis of industry’s share in gross value added and employment reveals a process of absolute deindustrialization in the Divinópolis Microregion and in certain municipalities. However, the DRR results do not indicate evidence of deindustrialization for the Microregion relative to Minas Gerais and Brazil during the analyzed period, although the evidence supports the existence of this process in the most economically relevant municipalities of the Microregion.
