Abstract
The rural-urban relationship is a concern that stands out over time and is recorded in various academic investigations and areas of knowledge. Economics, having as its main focus the study on the search for the perfect allocation of scarce factors to meet unlimited demands, is fundamental in the study of this nature, as it makes it possible to identify elements that can signifi cantly affect the proper functioning of the economic system. Thus, this investigation has as its main objective to examine the interrelationship between economic activities, agricultureindustry-services, in the State of Parana in 2008, in order to observe the contributions of urban activities to rural activity. The year 2008 is considered a period of major economic changes globally and nationally, due to the developments following the real estate crisis in the United States of America that began in 2007. The proposed methodology is based on the function of multiple linear regression, and the data are the gross added values of these three activities related to the state’s 399 municipalities for the year 2008 (data cut-off). However, these variables are in the form of natural logarithms, because in this way one can check the elasticities between these variables. It can be observed that there was a negative relationship between agriculture and industry, a fact already much discussed in theories on the subject, and a positive relationship between agriculture and services. Thus, it is suggested that the proper functioning of services tends activities to contribute to the process of economic growth/development, given the importance of the rural sector in developing economies.Keywords: agriculture, industry, services, Gross Added Value, municipality, Parana State.

Summary
O Estado do Paraná, desde sua ocupação, passou por ciclos econômicos, como a economia extrativa de ouro, o ciclo da erva mate, da madeira, do café e a modernização agrícola com a inclusão de novas culturas agrícolas a serem produzidas no Estado (Melo, 2006). O setor de serviços possui peso significativo na geração de riquezas para o Estado do Paraná, tanto que no ano de 2007 este setor teve uma participação no Valor Adicionado Bruto deste mesmo setor em relação ao total nacional de 6% (Nunes, 2010). Este artigo tem como principal objetivo tentar mensurar a relação entre agropecuária, indústria e serviços no Estado do Paraná no ano de 2008, visto que no ano de 2008, mesmo com o forte impacto da crise internacional, houve um bom desempenho da economia brasileira, e também paranaense. Paulo Alexandre Nunes hipóteses básicas que a relação entre a agropecuária e a indústria é negativa, pois, como se verifica na literatura sobre o tema, há uma queda da participação da agropecuária na economia brasileira e paranaense em favor do setor industrial. Discutem-se os resultados obtidos com a pesquisa, e, por fim, apresentam-se as conclusões
