      Abstract

      The service sector has the largest share of GDP and employment in the Rio
      Grande do Sul economy. It may be seen as a leading sector in the economy, but its dynamics
      may determine income growth. We present an analysis of productivity growth in the services
      sector in Rio Grande do Sul, comparing its level, dynamics and structure with that of Brazil.
      The services sector, excluding retail and government, structure in the state is similar to the
      country´s. Productivity actually decreased in constant prices terms, following the aggregate
      trend. Using shift-share decompositions, we conclude that sector productivity dynamics
      depended mostly on the within-sector component, with small between sector and structural
      bonus effects, both at Rio Grande do Sul and Brazil.
