Abstract

The aim of this study then is to analyze whether the public debt of the 26 Brazilian states and the Federal District is sustainable in the period 2000-2010, after the implementation of the Fiscal Responsibility Law. For this , we applied the unit root test of Im, Pesaram e Shin (2003) for panel data, which considers the autoregressive coefficients vary for each unit tested, because each state has specific characteristics, in order to find out if there stationarity in the debt / GDP ratio. However, the results showed that, except for the states of the Midwest Region, public debt presented an unsustainable behavior in the analysis period confirming the results found by Lopes (2007) and Tabosa et al. (2011). Keywords: Public Debt. Sustainability.Brazilian states.Fiscal Responsibility Law.
