Las especializaciones e interrelaciones productivas como factores de desarrollo en la Patagonia Chilena

Abstract

An interesting aspect to study in the major hubs of Chilean Patagonia is the way the several phases of development evolve and increase their sensitivity, by determining the similarities between their labor, functional and productive (linkage) specializations. This research aims to answer this question: Was the development of the major hubs of Chilean Patagonia in 2007 and 2012 stimulated as a result of similarities between their labor, functional and productive (linkage) specializations? The results indicate that, in a majority of cases, the coherence between those aspects stimulates the development of these regions, as well as the increment of their economic relations’ density.
