THE EXPANSION OF FEDERAL UNIVERSITIES IN BRAZIL: The socioeconomic and fiscal impact on municipalities
Universities; Impact; Socioeconomic; Supervisor.
The REUNI program contributed to university expansion in Brazil, both in terms of new universities and new campuses. The presence of universities in the municipalities generates technical-scientific, cultural and socioeconomic impacts, and in the latter, little is explored about the fiscal impact that occurred in the municipalities due to the presence of universities. The study aims to identify which socioeconomic and fiscal impacts may occur in Brazilian municipalities due to the presence of federal universities. For this purpose, an exploratory/descriptive study will be carried out, with a structured quantitative approach, whose sample will be composed in Brazilian municipalities from 2005 to 2019, totaling 83,492 observations; followed by municipalities with the headquarters or campus of a federal university, totaling 3,489 observations.
