摘要：This study aimed to analyze the impact of horizontal clustering in employment growth of micro-, small and medium companies (MPME´S) of the clothing industry in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, in 2004 and 2014. In this context, it was considered the arguments grounded by Fujita and Thisse (2002) that point to external economies as an explanation of clustering. In terms of methodology, the research was developed through Exploratory Analysis of spatial data (ESDA), highlighting the spatial autocorrelation statistics Moran’s I and Local Moran’s and used the model proposed by Fingleton, Igliori and Moore (2005) with the procedure based on the model of Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS). The results showed that, for the clothing sector of the stage of Rio Grande do Norte, for the period 2004 -2014, horizontal clustering generated positive externalities on growth of employment in (MPME´S) in this sector, but these are balanced with negative impacts, also known as congestion effect.
