Analysis of the evolution of economic development indicators in the brazilian states: a space approach (1995-2014)

Abstract

Brazil is characterized not only by the vast and diverse territorial extension, but by socioeconomic inequalities. Constituted by a historical process, income disparities and access to basic services represent significant sources of deprivation to the Brazilian population. Thus, the present study aims to evaluate the evolution of the development indicators of the Brazilian states in the post-implementation period of the Real Plan. We used descriptive statistical tools to understand how the variables associated with the income, physical capital, human capital and inequality dimensions behaved in time. Among the main results, we can highlight the great disparity between the Brazilian regions, which are even greater when considering the realities for the states.
