Makes an analysis considering the household income concept aplied for brasilian states. Besides a large preliminary discussion concerning partial factors who explain inequality, including those ones assign to national literature, this thesis presents two relevant parts. The characterization of probability distribution that describe income distribution for brasilian states and a different methodology to calculate inequality and poverty indicators. Concerning this goal are present two information groups: Kernel Functions and “best adjustment” probability distributions for every state. By the way, are presents two theoretical structure, from result different econometrics framework, on the way to explain income inequality in Brazil. Thus, to catch the relationship between household income inequality and economic growth, was used first a framework based upon a simultaneous equation models applied in cross-sectional data for brazilian states with some extensions to different revenue percentiles. Otherwise, considering a theoretical model with just one equation and following panel data methodology to Random Effects and Instrumental Variables estimation. At the and was made an exercise using Quantiles Regressions to catch the selected variables effects on different groups of states.
