- Abstract
- The objective of this paper is to determine the impact of the South region furniture industry of Brazil on its regional economies. For this purpose, Multiregional input-output tables from the Brazilian South region for 1999 are constructed. The results suggest the existence of a high linkage effect of the furniture sector with other sectors and a high output multiplier. This result confirms the furniture industry as a key sector in terms of backward linkage for the State economies of Paraná and Santa Catarina. Also, there is strong correlation between the civil construction and furniture sectors, what indicates that the furniture industry is sensitive to House loans.
