| Abstract | The work uses both macro and micro data to analyze the forces explaining Brazilian regional per capita income inequality reduction from 1995 to 2005. The results point out that both labor productivity convergence (neoclassical argument) and public federal nonspatial policies, mainly minimum-salary growth and income transference programs, do have a role in explaining regional inequality reduction during the period. More specifically, it is shown that income transference and the minimum-salary growth explain, respectively, 17.4% and 21% of Brazilian regional per capita income inequality reduction from 1995 to 2005. The general conclusion, thus, it that both public federal non-spatial public policies and, mainly, labor productivity convergence explain Brazilian regional per capita inequality reduction from 1995 to 2005. Key-words: convergence, labor productivity, income transference. Código JEL: R11, R12.
