Abstract: This paper analyses the determining factors of differences in economic growth between the North, South and Northeast regions in Rio Grande do Sul departing from homogeneous geographical data for 333 municipalities between 1990 and 1999. The results show that the municipalities tended to converge to the long run per capita income of their region. The municipalities in the Northeast have a long run per capita income 25% greater than the ones in the North region and 48% greater than the ones in the South region. The municipal economic growth is influenced positively by accumulation of physical and human capital, specialization in industrial and agricultural sectors, population growth and it is negatively influenced by the initial per capita income and concentration in land property.
