The aim of this study was to identify the influence of investment in human capital and public and private fixed capital in the economic growth of cities in the state of Sergipe, in the period 2006-2011. To do so, based on endogenous growth perspective, was constructed variables for the analysis of the determinants of growth. Under the application of econometric methodology of panel data, the sample was divided into two, analyzing larger municipalities and under 25 thousand inhabitants. The results show that the greater sensitivity to investments in smaller municipalities, while for larger municipalities, stood out private investment, the investment of municipal power and the level of local education as determinants of economic growth. The model explanatory power presented itself similar to that found in the related literature, despite including innovative measures such as the standardization of data and the use of the Investment FIRJAN index (IFGF).
