Abstract
The aim of this article is to identify the goods of the Northeastern Brazil and of Pernambuco state which have comparative advantage in the foreign market. Several indexes were employed in order to measure the regions’ international specialization. The first one is the symetric revealed comparative advantage, which displays the relative structure of a region or a country´s exports. The second form entails the index of trade balance contribution, which focuses on the goods´ trade balance. Lastly, we measure the degree of intra-industry trade within a region. Accordingly, this article identified 15 groups of products in Pernambuco and 23 groups in the Northeast that have revealed comparative advantage.
