      Abstract

      This study presents an approach rarely discussed in the ambit of public finances,
      exposing the idea that the process of indebtedness is composed by permanent and transitory
      factors. With this, the objective was to measure the permanent part and the transitory part
      of the indebtedness of Brazilian municipalities in the years 1989 to 2012. For this, a method
      that can be applied in non-stationary and non-linear series is called Decomposition in
      Empirical Modes. The results indicate that the composition of the process of indebtedness
      of the municipalities is largely formed by the transitory factor of the debt, in other words,
      the municipal governments have been expanding their debts generally in their respective
      budgets cycles.
