The metropolitan seduction, between diversification or specialization: the São Paulo case
When reconstructing the debate on the specialization/diversification of the economic activity as a motor of the urban development, this article retraces the construction of the concepts of dynamic externalities MAR and Jacobs and reuses them for the study of the innovative processes of the industrial firms of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. With this, it searches to deepen the followings debates: one in the field of the theoretical construction and other in the field of interpretation of the São Paulo’s economic reality of the decade of 1990. The empirical instruments for such are based on the construction of an industry portfolio of sources for the innovative process.
