Corrupção, governança e desenvolvimento: Uma análise seccional de dados para o Brasil

Abstract

Corruption is a problem in many countries and leads to questions about its impacts on the regional development. This way, the paper examines the possible relation among Corruption, Governance and HDI, as well as some other Brazilian social indexes. After identifying the variables to be used, a quantitative study was carried out through linear regression and discriminant analysis, using secondary data from all Brazilian states indexes. From the results, it was possible to identify the existence of a relation among the chosen variables and also a significant difference among Brazilian regions on corruption, governance and human development indexes.
