ROYALTIES DA MINERAÇÃO E O DESENVOLVIMENTO SOCIOECONÔMICO NO PARÁ

The research employs a fixed-effects model to analyze how mining royalties (CFEM) correlate with socioeconomic indicators (health, education, employment, and income) and homicide rates in Pará. While simple correlations suggest royalties improve socioeconomic variables and increase violence, the application of municipality and year fixed effects removes the statistical significance of these correlations. However, the study finds a strong positive correlation between increased royalties and municipal spending, particularly in public sector salaries and pensions, and suggests that royalties may reduce municipal efforts to collect urban property tax (IPTU).

• When using a methodology that ignores fixed municipality characteristics, mining royalties appear to have a positive and statistically significant correlation with health, education, employment, income, and violence. However, when fixed effects for both municipality and year are included, these correlations lose statistical significance.
• An increase of R$ 1 in mining royalties is associated with an equivalent increase in municipal expenditures, split equally between current and capital expenditures. The areas most affected by this increase are public sector salaries and pensions, followed by health and education.
• The data suggests that mining royalties do not necessarily lead to direct spending in socioeconomic areas, but rather trigger budget adjustments that increase spending on public sector salaries and pensions.
• Increased mining royalties are not correlated with an increase in the collection of urban property tax (IPTU), which may indicate that CFEM reduces the fiscal efforts of the benefiting municipalities.
