Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyze, prepare and substantiate the relation of growth in the Western Region of Sao Paulo called “Oeste Paulista” with the concept of the gravitational model. The context of the region's growth is strongly exemplified in the 1980s and 1990s, the period being used to justify the focus on the gravitational model and to present its relations. Gravitational models are the first step in defining lines of work for the Mechanism design, used to analyze structures. The research group GDECOR has been working in this direction and the goal of this work is to qualitatively understand how the process of income and wealth creation in the regions of the Western Region of Sao Paulo and their internal commercial relations is presented, exemplifying how the data are amenable to the application of the Model. Subsequently a quantitative study of the main indicators of the region will be done, which should be constructed as a Gravitational Model of the Social Fabric of the West of São Paulo, using Stata software and contributing to the elaboration of a model of socioeconomic development through Mechanism Design.
