Abstract
The objective of this article is to analyze the effects of economic growth, inequality and the Bolsa Família Program (PBF) on poverty indices in Brazil. To do so, a dynamic panel model was used, estimated by the method of generalized moments for a two-step system, developed by Blundel-Bond (1998). The results show that spending on the family scholarship had no impact on poverty rates in Brazil. It is also found that policies of economic growth that promote an increase in income in conjunction with the reduction of its disparities are preferable to those that prioritize only the increase of the average income in the fight against poverty in Brazil.
