Abstract

La literatura sugiere que el crédito puede ser un factor determinante en el desarrollo económico. Estudiamos la relación entre las hipotecas y la economía para un grupo de municipios en Minas Gerais (Brasil). Utilizamos registros de datos no publicados sobre préstamos, producción de café e ingresos fiscales para verificar los efectos del crédito en la economía. Utilizando regresiones estadísticas probamos cómo los valores hipotecarios y su concentración en 1893-1904 explicaron los ingresos tributarios promedios en 1904-1905 y la producción de café en 1905-1912. Los resultados demuestran que las hipotecas contribuyeron afirmativamente a la economía de esa región durante ese período. KEY Classification-JEL: N5; Q14; R11; R12
