Influências da democracia e escolaridade no PIB per capita: estudo em painel dialogando com as metodologias contemporâneas

Abstract

In this present paper, we used the approaches of Acemoglu, Johnson, Robinson e Yared (2005) to analyze the influences of democracy and schooling on GDP per capita in a time panel from 1970 to 2010 with fixed effects. Our main conclusions are: I- Democracy has significance on product per capita only in medium term, but depends the institutional quality to its influence be distinguished. II- In a world cut, primary schooling in lag of 10 years is the educational variable with higher temporal influences in GDP per capita, still reinforcing the importance of first degree education in the modern scenario. III- Integrations and Historical estimators depends their pluralities to exercise significant impacts on product per capita. In our model, we observed that between the historical variables tested, the most influent was the one that considers the independence date of the observed countries, and global integration has only expressive effects on GDP per capita when applied in several spheres
