Crescimento pró-pobre nos estados brasileiros: análise da contribuição da construção civil usando um modelo de dados em painel dinâmico, 1985-2008

This study examined the effects of construction on the reduction of poverty in the Brazilian states. For this, models were estimated in dynamic panel data for all units of the federation in the period 1985-2008. The results indicate that growth in construction has been pro-poor in most of these units in both the short and long term. The results also indicate that the impacts of industry on poverty reduction were higher than those of other industries analyzed.
