ROYALTIES DA MINERAÇÃO E O DESENVOLVIMENTO SOCIOECONÔMICO NO PARÁ

This research paper describes the methodology used to analyze the correlation between mining royalties (CFEM) and socioeconomic development in the state of Pará, Brazil. Using a fixed-effects model, the study examines how these royalties impact health, education, employment, income, violence, and municipal fiscal spending.

• When using a model that ignores fixed characteristics of municipalities, there is a statistically significant positive correlation between mining royalties and variables related to 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 expenditures 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 directly fund socioeconomic improvements but instead trigger budget adjustments that increase spending on public sector salaries and pensions. Furthermore, there is no correlation between increased royalties and higher collection of urban property tax (IPTU), which may indicate that royalties reduce the fiscal efforts of the benefiting municipalities.
• Socioeconomic performance varies significantly among municipalities receiving high royalties. While Canaã dos Carajás, Parauapebas, Curionópolis, and Marabá generally perform well in health, education, and employment/income, other high-royalty municipalities such as Itatibuba, Novo Progresso, Oriximiná, and Terra Santa perform poorly, particularly in health and employment/income.
