Abstract

ABSTRACT: This study examines the nature and magnitude of the direct and spillover effects of transport investment and innovation expenditures on the economic growth and social development of the 26 states and the Federal District of Brazil. A novel two-equation spatial econometric model is estimated and reveals five paradoxical (unexpected) outcomes in the relationships between economic development, social development, innovation and transport investment. These paradoxes in some cases reflect spatial competition and in others negative spillovers or self-reinforcing trends in innovation and social investment.
