          Abstract

          This paper aims to assess the significance of a set of economic, social and human capital variables found in the literature as influencing factors of Brazilian states´ GDP per capita between 1991 and 2009. In this regard, we estimated a panel data by the method of Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS), proposed by Parks (1967) and the method of Panel Corrected Standard Errors (PCSE), developed by Beck and Katz (1995). The FGLS and PCSE methods produced good estimates for the coefficients, being all statistically significant and with expected sign. The results corroborate the findings of the literature.
