Resumo: |
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how economic growth, income inequality and poverty relate to each other, in view of its importance as preparation and conduct of social policies that seek to combat poverty and improving income distribution of the population. For that, the proposed work is targeted in the form of three tests in order to cover different research methods and address the main aspects of the theoretical debate on the topic. Estimates were used for all data related to units of Brazil during the period covered by the years 1995 to 2009. The first test part of the calculation of elasticities for understanding the dynamics of the relationship between the variables of interest from the panel data methodology. The results suggest that policies or programs aimed at improving income distribution and poverty reduction are more effective than those promoting only the increase in average incomes. The second article uses the theoretical framework proposed by Kuznets (1955) to identify relationship between income level and inequality. Developing econometric models with panel data, static and dynamic, in most cases, the results do not point to the inverted U-shape pattern. Finally, the third and final essay presents an element of the theory of pro-poor growth, which suggests this type of growth occurs only when the poor get superior gains to the richest. In conclusion, we observe that the results are more representative for southern, southeastern and central-west, in relative terms, but there is evidence that the country as a whole showed a trend of pro-poor gains since the implementation of the Plan Real |
