Abstract

Taking into account the economic and social inequalities in Brazil, the objective of this work is to analyze the importance of the credit market for the economic growth of Brazilian municipalities. Using an augmented Solow-Swan economic growth model and panel data estimation, we investigate how the level of bank credit operations affects per capita economic growth in Brazilian cities. The results reveal a positive correlation between credit availability and per capita income of Brazilian municipalities between 2002 and 2018. Cities with a higher level of credit market development showed higher levels of per capita economic growth, corroborating the hypothesis that the financial market is an important determinant of economic growth.
