Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between the variables that make up public spending and the economic growth of Brazilian port cities. The research strategy used to meet the established objective was analysis of secondary data. Regarding the problem approach, this was quantitative, in which the research sample was intentional and not probabilistic, comprising 32 brazilian port cities. The time dimension applied to the research was in a transversal cut, comprising the per capita Public Expenses of 2013 and the per capita GDP of  2015. In order to analyze the regression, Gretl statistical software was used, and from the evaluated aspects, it was verified health and investment expenditures are directly related to the per capita GDP of the port cities. Thus, it can be concluded that the costs observed in the study influenced the economic growth, analyzed by the GDP per capita variable of the port cities listed for the present study. Finally, in observing the results of the analyzed model, it was concluded that public spending has a high explanatory power, since 76.8% of the GDP per capita of the port cities is explained by public expenditure.
