        Abstract

        This paper aims to analyze the direct and indirect effects (regional spillover) of foreign direct investment in the Brazilian states on the rate of economic growth. First, was used the procedure of spatial analysis to verify the presence of spatial correlation among the states, and then, we apply econometrics of panel data with spatial weights. The results suggest that foreign direct investment can affect economic growth directly. Also is possible to observe a regional spillover effect positive. However, this relationship demonstrates sensitive to changes in the specification.
