“…In this section, the study investigates whether inequality has been reduced among Brazilian states. Thus, the study employs the indicator utilised by Ferreira & Diniz (1995) to assess income inequality among Brazil's states. This indicator assumes that an equitable distribution of income across the states would be realised when the per capita income of each state equals the national average, resulting in js indices of 1 for all states.…”

This article examines Brazilian states’ per capita income convergence from 1990 to 2020. A reduction in state inequalities was observed, attributed to the redistribution of resources through the State Participation Fund (FPE) and Constitutional Funds and the Municipal Participation Fund and transfers for health and education, benefiting federative entities with lower per capita incomes. However, a significant volume of resources aimed at income redistribution was characterized by overlapping actions, whose results were not evaluated in isolation. Moreover, while historically, less economically advantaged states strive to reach the national average, more economically advantaged states tend to maintain or enhance their relative positions. Barro’s analysis (2001) suggests that equalization funds, by benefiting entities with lower GDP per capita, discourage governors from promoting the state’s economic development, as this would imply a loss of FPE resources. This situation would be a government failure commonly pointed out by authors of the Public Choice School. In light of this, this study proposes a revision of the FPE distribution criteria, reducing the emphasis on the inverse of per capita income and including variables such as population, collection effort, and state size, aiming to promote a more effective and equitable convergence of per capita income in the Brazilian federation.

Abstract:This paper seeks to understand how and why the determinants of economic growth (including spatial spillovers) in Brazil may manifest themselves differently at different spatial scales (municipalities, micro-regions, spatial clusters, and states) between 1991 and 2000. Analysing this issue it sheds light on the geography of the structural process underlying the economic growth at different scales. It means that the definition of each scale level could have a well-defined role in the economic growth process. A complementary approach is related to the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem (MAUP) and Ecological Fallacy Problem. These two measurement problems stem from the fact that there is an aggregation problem which might prevent us from identifying the actual scale at which processes operate. This paper suggests a general framework that allows dealing with multiple spatial scales, spatial autocorrelation and model uncertainty. The analysis reveals that if single regression is estimated at the different scale levels, the results change as scale level changes. However, the robustness test was able to identify variables that are simultaneously significant at different spatial scales: higher education and health capital and better local infra-structure are related to higher economic growth rates. Among other results, this paper identifies that spatial spillovers are operating especially at finer scales. At municipal level, several variables exhibit externality effects across space in Brazil, such as physical capital, education and health capital and local infrastructure. Finally, the study also concludes that Brazil is a country that regions (at all scale levels) converged too slowly over the nineties.

ResumoOs principais estudos sobre convergência, no Brasil, têm se concentrado na análise da β-convergência. Neste artigo é reexaminada essa questão utilizando a metodologia de Quah (1997) Quah (1997) Mossi et all (2003) and Andrade et all (2004). Variables concerning geographical localization and level of education appeared as the main conditioner for this process.
