RESUMO

This study intended to verify the existence and magnitude of positive aggregate human capital externalities for the Brazilian cities. These kinds of externalities would raise the returns to the education above its private return level, so it could stand out the importance of educational incentive policies for the localities with lesser economic development. It made use of the microdata from the Demographic Census of 1980, 1991 and 2000, to compare the wages of similar individuals working in cities with different share of more educated workers in its labor force. After controlling for the private return to education, it accounted for the influence of unobservable characteristics related to workers or cities, which may affect the wages. Besides, the possibility of demand or supply shocks in the labor force was considered as well as the imperfect substitution of workers with different levels of education. Estimated results confirm the existence of these externalities and that they would affect workers with low and high education differently
