on each state of Brazil
Data from IBGE (Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística) and Central Bank (Banco Central do Brasil) in Reais (R$) current value. Data: 1995-2011
- Financial Intermediation, Financial System Operations,
- Health and Education,
- Institutional setting. At the level of each Brazilian state it is difficult to find appropriate measures of the institutional settings. The most important control variable is the institutional setting. At the level of each Brazilian state it is difficult to find appropriate measures of the institutional settings. Proxies for the institutional sitting at the state local could be the people who die for homicide and violence, or the percentage of people who die for infant mortality, or the jobs undertaken by children under age can. The intuition is that the decline of these measures implies an improvement of the institutional setting, i.e., an improved legal and social environment leads to a decline of homicides (MortHomicpermilhab), deaths of infants (Taxamortinfpermil), and work of children (Taxtrabinf)
