Impactos do Programa de Aceleração do Crescimento sobre o desenvolvimento econômico no Brasil

Abstract

This study has as main objective to analyze the impacts of investments in basic infrastructure provided for in the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC) on economic growth and reducing inequalities in Brazil. For this, it was estimated the multiplier effect of investment on income and the index of lack of basic infrastructure for each state. Using clustering techniques, the states were divided into four groups according to their resource needs that program to promote economic growth and improve living conditions of the population. Thus, investment in states that are part of clusters 1 and 2 would result in economic growth and better living conditions for the population. In cluster 3, they would have less impact on economic growth, but would reduce inequalities. Investments targeted to cluster 4 have little impact on economic growth and the conditions of life.
