Since authors as Perroux (1955) and Hirschman (1958) proposed the fostering of intersectoral links as a strategy for economic growth, some lower-income countries sought industrial development, while in the richer we found de-industrialization and growth importance of services. Following this context, this study evaluates the relation that the total interconnections within an economy could have with GDP per capita and its growth rate. So, from input-output data from 40 countries for the years 1995 and 2011, aggregate measures of links (MAL) were built and evaluated for total and for primary, industrial and service sectors. The results show a reduction trend in connections of industrial sectors, its positive association with the growth of GDP per capita and the integration of services with other activities
