The objective of this study was to analyze the demographic dynamics regarding the rural–urban and male’ female population in the municipalities of the “predominantly rural’, ‘intermediate’ and ‘urban’ regions of the Zona da Mata Mineira (ZMM), in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The ZMM is a coffee-producing region with 142 municipalities, 90% of them with less than 20,000 inhabitants, and it is marked by the predominance of small rural properties with less than 50ha. Despite being an impoverished and poorly industrialized region, the municipalities of this microregion have maintained and even increased their urban population when compared to municipalities with a higher Human Development Index (HDI), located in southern Brazil. In this region of the ZMM, the dual residency of mainly small rural producers has grown above the average in Brazil and the state of Minas Gerais. To analyze the demographic peculiarities and agrarian structure of the municipalities of the ZMM, the population data provided by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatistica (IBGE) between the 1970s and 2020 was used, in addition to the classification criteria of the regions of the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD). The results of our study showed the largest growth in one microregion with a ‘predominantly rural’ when compared to “predominantly urban” profile. These data revealed the peculiar characteristics of the demographic dynamics of the ZMM in relation to other Brazilian mesoregions, which would justify new studies. However, the Brazilian and global trends of masculinization and aging of the rural population was also observed in the ZMM. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work evaluated the Local Productive Arrangements (APL) policy for the municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul. The impact on the sectors of the municipalities that have APL in relation to those that do not have in the period from 2006 to 2014 was analyzed. The arrangement named Moveleiro da Serra Gaúcha and the arrangement named Pedras, Gemas e Joias were the ones who had positive and significant results for the level of employment. On average remuneration analysis, nine APLs had positive and significant effects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the profi le of the economic growth in the regions of Mato Grosso do Sul State in Brazil. For this analysis were made quantitative estimates using gross domestic product data (GDP), regional population and gross domestic product per capita and review of theories of economic growth. The results showed that the most populous and most dynamic regions stagnated, while peripheral regions advanced by stimulating the convergence of the level of regional economic growth.

Introduit par la communauté européenne au début des années 1990 pour remédier aux difficultés structurelles de développement des territoires ruraux, le programme d'initiative communautaire LEADER s'est affirmé. Se renforçant au fil des générations, il s'est finalement installer dans le paysage des mécanismes d'appui au développement rural à travers son intégration au FEADER pour la période 2007-2013. Il est généralement présenté comme un dispositif d'intervention spécifique au double titre de sa mise en œuvre, et de son spectre original d'intervention (Buller, 2000). A l'appui d'une instance de décision locale associant partenaires publics et privés (le Groupe d'Action Locale), il permet la définition concertée d'une stratégie locale de développement transversale, permettant de mobiliser les ressources et de répondre aux enjeux spécifiques du territoire. Un accompagnement technique et financier des acteurs locaux est prévu dans l'objectif de stimuler la mise en œuvre de projets innovants, émergeants selon une logique ascendante. En cohérence avec sa vocation d'appui au développement durable du territoire, il cherche notamment à accompagner les acteurs économiques privés afin de permettre la création d'activités et d'emplois dans les espaces ruraux. Il se distingue toutefois des mécanismes « classiques » d'accompagnement via la mise en œuvre de la stratégie de développement construite et portée par le territoire. Celle-ci se traduit par le soutien de projets originaux, valorisant les ressources locales identifiés pour leur correspondance avec les principes fondateurs du programme. La différence entre l'appui « classique » et l'appui « LEADER » constitue ce que l'on évoque souvent comme « la valeur ajoutée LEADER ». Au travers de l'expérience de l'évaluation régionale des actions de soutien aux initiatives économiques dans LEADER en Région Auvergne conduit dans le cadre d'un travail plus large sur l'évaluation du 2nd pilier de la Politique agricole commune, nous avons mis en évidence l'importance fondamentale de la coordination des acteurs locaux dans la mise en œuvre du programme au service des projets « à finalité économique » et notamment son rôle central dans la capacité du programme à exprimer sa spécificité. Après avoir présenté le programme Leader et la démarche évaluative, les principaux résultats de chacune des deux phases de l'évaluation seront explicités. Ils aboutissent au constat qu'en réaction aux contraintes qui limitent la capacité du programme à atteindre sa cible en matière de développement économique, les territoires auvergnats se sont adaptés, les uns par un glissement vers d'autres priorités d'intervention, les autres par un glissement qualitatif vers des projets privés à faible valeur-ajoutée.

The need to renew civil infrastructure is particularly acute in urban centres. However, investment in infrastructure renewal has different economic implications compared with new construction, mainly having multiplier effects as opposed to real effects. Statistical techniques are used to study the factors that influence private sector commercial, industrial, and residential construction starts in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Regression equations for the construction sector are incorporated into a macroeconomic model of the GTA. This model is used to study the impacts of public construction spending on the GTA economy. Impacts produced by infrastructure investment are not limited to the construction industry but are seen over the whole economy. In the model simulation, a CAN$1.75 billion road investment in the second quarter of 1994 produced an additional CAN$375 million increase in regional gross domestic product (GDP).

Strong J. S. (1983) Regional variations in industrial performance, Reg. Studies 17, 429–444. Regional differences in cycle experience are wider than would be expected on the basis of industrial composition alone. Spatial variations in economic performance within four industries are examined and found to be of considerable magnitude and persistence. Localized demand and productivity differentials are shown to be important determinants of these variations, particularly for mature industries. The interaction between regional and industrial distributions is shown to have important implications for sectoral policies and for regionally-oriented stabilization policy. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
