The theoretical approach will be postkeynesian, which suggests that in peripherical regions the liquidity preference would be higher, due to the uncertainty. This situation leads to fewer agencies, less information within the peripheral region and lower willingness in lending by the bank system. In this way, regions with higlier liquidity preferences and lower bank access are supposed to show credit problems, what make tlieir development more difficult.

Ver Amado (1997) para a aplicação ao caso brasileiro. 2 Para esclarecimentos sobre preferência pela liquidez dos bancos, ver Carvalho (1999), Paula (1999) e Dow (1988).

This paper aims at analyzing the role of several monetary variables in the development of different regions based on the concepts of central place and on the Post Keynesian approach to regional economy. The concept of liquidity preference is used to analyze the effect of money behavior on the regional economic performance of regions inside Brazil. The analysis of data is accomplished by using principal component analysis and cluster analysis.

The objective of this paper is to develop arguments that compare the dynamics of financial capital and urban space. It is first argued that financial services follow a concentration-centralization logic, with highly specialized services being offered at central places in urban space, and less complex services with a more dispersed pattern. This characteristic simultaneously promotes a centralized-deconcentration effect on the urban structure: the dispersal of services and urban amenities reduces transport costs and improves urban balance in a few places, while complex services are usually highly centralized, therefore promoting unbalanced (centre-periphery) urban development. In order to understand the balance between these two effects, this paper proposes a preliminary investigation that examines the localization of banks, income and other socioeconomic features in the metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte, in Brazil.
