Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to update the analysis of the process of convergenceof state per capita incomes in Brazil, using new data for the period 1986-1995. Theil’s L andT indexes are used to show that the process of convergence, observed between 1970 and1985 and reported in previous work, has come to a halt, since 1987. Some possible explanationsfor this result are also explored. JEL Classification: R11; O40.
