        Abstract

        The main goal of this work is to develop an empirical investigation for the Brazilian States real per capita GDP growth from 1992 to 2009 using panel data and fixed/random effect and GMM estimation. The econometric results indicate the existence of a positive and significant relation for industry and manufactory industry GDP, the relative participation of the industry in the valued added, but not for the relative participation of the manufactory industry for State GDP growth. The average schooling years have a positive impact on State GDP growth and there is evidence that States with higher (lower) current and capital expenditures in average have lower (higher) GDP growth rates. Finally, State export performance and inflation are not statistically significant to explain differences in growth rates.
