Abstract
To measure the regional impacts and possible development and planning policies of the “Bolsa Familia” Program, an income transfer program founded by the Brazilian Federal Government, this study innovates by combining geoprocessing with input–output theory. The analytical potential is showed through the estimation and analysis of the Sao Paulo State Municipalities supply and demand relations. These relations were estimated in the process of the construction of the state interregional input–output system. By having in view that the creation of accurate development strategies depends on regional peculiarities, the results show that this program must be understood not only as a form of income transference, but also as a catalytic agent for decreasing the regional inequality inside the state.
