Abstract
The idea that the social and economic changes occurred in a region can interfere in the neighborhood areas has been consolidated in the economic science. Building on that, this paper aimed at verifying whether the population growth rate and the GNP per capita of a municipal district have been influenced by the population growth rate and GNP per capita of neighbor municipalities in the State of Santa Catarina - Brazil, in the period from 1998 to 2002, using a series of GDP per capita and another for its 293 municipalities. By means of Morgan Indexes, it was´n verified the existence of spatial autocorrelation in relation to the growth rates of GDP per capita and to rates of population growth.
