This paper analyzed the validity of Kuznets' inequality-development hypothesis for Brazilian cities in 1991 and 2000. Inequality was measured by the Gini and the Theil-L indexes. The measures for development were the per capita income and the ratio between urban and total population. The results were ambiguous: some specifications rejected the Kuznets? hypothesis while other showed the opposite result; however, the models? goodness of fit was extremely poor. Therefore, the ability of Kuznets? hypothesis to explain inequality among Brazilian cities is exceptionally limited.Downloads
