This work analyzes the convergence of land productivity for
Brazilian regions from 1991 to 2003. It evaluates if there is or not convergence
of the agricultural productivity, controlling explicitly for spatial effects. To do so, an exploratory spatial data analysis was previously
implemented and the presence of spatial autocorrelation for the land
productivity was detected. In addition, spatial econometric models were
developed for the convergence analysis.
