Testing Kuznets’ environmental hypothesis for the Legal Amazon
This study tests the null hypothesis that no significant differences exist in the relationship between economic growth and deforestation, based on the levels of growth and agricultural productivity in the municipalities of the Brazilian Legal Amazon. Grounded in the environmental Kuznets curve theory, this study employs a non-linear methodological approach to estimate the relationship between economic growth and deforestation. The results reject …
A spatial analysis of how growth and inequality affect poverty in Brazil
This research seeks to analyze the impacts of economic growth and income inequality on Brazilian states’ urban and rural poverty, considering the effects of the initial levels of development and inequality. The elasticities of income and inequality of poverty were calculated through a dynamic spatial panel, using an adaptation of the approach developed by Kalwij and Verschoor (2004), and data from 2004 to 2014. Incorporating the spatial factor al…
Income elasticities and inequality of poverty in urban and rural areas of the Brazilian states
This study sets out to obtain values for the income elasticities and inequality of poverty in urban and rural areas of the Brazilian states. A panel data methodology capable of capturing spatial effects via a spatial lag model is used to identify whether there are spatial spillovers of poverty in the census situations studied. Changes in growth and inequality lead to spatial spillovers in the proportion of poor people in Brazil s urban areas, but…
Convergência espacial da criminalidade nas microrregiões do Nordeste brasileiro
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo verificar a veracidade da hipótese de convergência para os níveis de criminalidade nas microrregiões do Nordeste brasileiro. Para tanto, foram utilizados dados para 187 microrregiões do Nordeste do Brasil, distribuídos entre os anos de 1996 a 2015. Por meio de uma metodologia espacial para dados em painel, concluiu-se que as taxas de criminalidade das microrregiões do Nordeste brasileiro convergem para uma de…
Efeitos do crescimento econômico e da desigualdade de renda sobre a pobreza no Brasil
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo calcular as elasticidades renda e desigualdade da pobreza no Brasil considerando a situação censitária. Foram utilizados dados, entre 2004 e 2014, referentes aos meios urbano e rural das Unidades de Federação do Brasil, e utilizou-se uma estimação de dados em painel com efeito threshold. Concluiu-se que os aumentos no crescimento reduzem a pobreza nos meios urbano e rural, enquanto a elevação das desigualdade…
