Arranjos institucionais e desenvolvimento: uma análise multivariada e espacial para municípios de Minas Gerais

Abstract

The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic development and the institutional arrangements of the cities of Minas Gerais’ state. Therefore, the methodology involved the correspondence analysis associated with weighted regression geographically. The FIRJAN Municipal Development Index (FMDI) was used as a municipal development indicator. As explanatory variables that form the institutional arrangement, four indicators institutional and four variables related to public expenditures were used. The results showed a direct association between cities that have more formal institutional instruments such as, for example, job and income generation programs and support policies to first jobs, and high levels of FMDI. Thus, understanding the type of association between the formal institutional instruments and the degree of the cities’ development could expand the discussion about regional inequalities in Minas Gerais.
