Spatial analysis of brazilian sugar exports highlighting northeast in the period from 2014 to 2017

Abstract: The objective of the present work is to analyze spatially the sugar exports of the Brazilian states, as well as to identify the levels of specialization and competitiveness of this sector in these areas. In this sense, it was elaborated an exploratory analysis of the spatial data (AEDE) through the global and local Moran I, and the calculation performance of the location quotient indexes, Market Share, relative participation of exports and participation of the sugar trade in the states. The results show that the sugar exports of the Brazilian states are spatially correlated, therefore, the relationship between the states of Paraná, São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul stands out. In addition, the relative indexes to international trade indicate levels of specialization and competitiveness concentrated around a reduced number of states.

摘要：本研究旨在对巴西各州的食糖出口开展空间分析，并识别该产业在各区域的专业化水平与竞争力水平。据此，本研究通过全局莫兰I指数与局部莫兰I指数，针对空间数据（AEDE）进行探索性分析，同时计算了区位商指数、市场份额、出口相对占比以及各州食糖贸易占比等指标。研究结果表明，巴西各州的食糖出口存在空间相关性，其中巴拉那州、圣保罗州与南马托格罗索州之间的关联尤为突出。此外，针对国际贸易的相对指标显示，专业化与竞争力水平集中在少数几个州。
