摘要：Este artigo faz uma breve revisão dos trabalhos aplicados da curva de Kuznets para o Brasil a fim de analisar diferentes abordagens encontradas na literatura brasileira. O objetivo do presente trabalho é incluir outros argumentos na análise da curva de Kuznets, tais como a influência da acumulação do capital humano e a migração de indivíduos na dinâmica da distribuição de renda no Brasil para os dados censitários de 1991, 2000 e 2010 em nível municipal. Como resultado da aplicação do modelo empírico de dados em painel, verificou-se que é possível observar a relação de U invertido entre a renda domiciliar per capita e a desigualdade na distribuição de renda no caso dos municípios brasileiros, e que a partir do ano de 2000. ABSTRACT This paper aims to empirically analyze the relationship of inverted U of Kuznets (1955) to understand the relationship between economic growth and income distribution in consideration of the effects of migration between urban and rural sectors with different levels of productivity in the Brazilian economy. To do so, a review of the work that applied the Kuznets curve to Brazil is used, in addition to other arguments such as the influence of the accumulation of human capital and the migration of individuals in the dynamics of the Brazilian income distribution for the census data of 1991, 2000 and 2010, at the municipal level. Panel data modeling was used for approximating the Kuznets hypothesis to the econometric tool and the quadratic term of the inverted U ratio between the household income per capita and inequality in the distribution of income in the case of Brazilian municipalities, that is, on average inequality increased until 2000 and declined at the end of the decade in 2010. Another observed result corroborated with the human capital theory in the indicative of that the average increase in the study years of the individuals contributed to the equalization of per capita household income among the Brazilian municipalities. Moreover, it was found, in agreement with Kuznets's (1955) argument, that the relative increase of the urban population did not imply an increase in income inequality in the period analyzed. Keywords : Panel data, income distribution, Kuznets.
