Changes occurred with the enactment of Law 9478 of 1997, led to some municipalities a financial condition inside, due to the higher inflow of royalties from oil and natural gas. The increase in revenue from royalties from oil and natural gas also ran on the other hand, the extraordinary expansion of the oil sector and the escalation of international prices of raw materials. The sum of these features plus a recipe mean expressive, is an important opportunity to expand investment and to meet the social demands. Royalties are derived from the operation of a nonrenewable resource, which implies that it has a period of exhaustion. For this reason, the literature stresses that his application should be made in capital and human capital. The overall goal of this dissertation is to analyze what were the purposes of royalties on public finances of the federal entities in the period from 1999 to 2011. From the methodology were characterized variables analysis. The analysis model was adopted panel data, which combines cross-sectional data with time series. Based on the tests, it was found that the counties most dependent on royalties increased capital expenditures with increased royalties, both from the perspective as the proportion per capita tax. For personnel costs, it was noted that these were influenced by royalties per capita in all municipalities. Moreover, from the perspective of tax ratio, the tests showed that the more dependent counties, showed a negative relationship. With regard to expenditure on education and culture, it was noted that royalties per capita influenced its formation in considerable part of the municipalities. However, in addressing the proportion fiscal few municipalities were affected, while in the cities most dependent inverse relationship exhibited. As for social spending on health, sanitation, housing and urban development was seen that some of these municipalities increased spending on the inflow of royalties. Finally, in the area of environmental expenditures, only the counties most dependent on royalties increased their spending with increased use. / As transformações ocorridas com a promulgação da lei 9.478, de 1997, propiciaram a alguns municípios brasileiros uma condição financeira privilegiada, em razão do maior ingresso de royalties provenientes da exploração de petróleo e gás natural. A elevação das receitas de royalties de petróleo e gás natural também decorreu, por outro lado, pela extraordinária expansão do setor petrolífero e pela escalada dos preços internacionais da matéria prima. A soma desses recursos além de significar uma receita expressiva, é uma importante possibilidade de ampliação dos investimentos e para o atendimento das demandas sociais. Os royalties são provenientes da exploração de um recurso natural não renovável, o que implica dizer que ele possui um prazo de esgotamento. Por esta razão, a literatura reforça que sua aplicação deve ser feita em bens de capital e capital humano. O objetivo geral desta dissertação é analisar quais foram os efeitos da aplicação dos royalties sobre as finanças públicas dos entes federativos no período de 1999 a 2011. A partir da metodologia foram caracterizadas as variáveis de análise. O modelo de análise adotado foi o de dados em painel, que combina dados de corte transversal com séries temporais. Com base nos testes, foi verificado que os municípios mais dependentes dos royalties elevaram as despesas de capital com o aumento dos royalties, tanto pela ótica per capita como pela proporção fiscal. Para as despesas com pessoal, observou-se que estas foram influenciadas pelos royalties per capita em todos os municípios. Ademais, pela ótica da proporção fiscal, os testes apontaram que os municípios mais dependentes, exibiram relação negativa. No que se refere às despesas com educação e cultura, notou-se que os royalties per capita influenciaram sua formação em parte considerável dos municípios. Porém, na abordagem da proporção fiscal poucos municípios foram influenciados, ao passo em que os municípios mais dependentes exibiram relação inversa. Já para às despesas sociais com saúde, saneamento, habitação e urbanismo foi visto que parte dos municípios aumentaram estas despesas com o ingresso de royalties. Por fim, na área ambiental dos gastos, apenas os municípios mais dependentes de royalties elevaram suas despesas com o aumento do recurso.

"Through case studies of three emerging economies - Ecuador, Nigeria and Russia - this thesis analyses the factors present to a greater or lesser degree in emerging economies, such as severe foreign indebtedness and the absence of the rule of law, that undermine the effectiveness of the legal system in protecting indigenous peoples from oil exploitation. Having identified these factors, I propose that a dual approach to the protection of indigenous peoples' traditional lands and their environment be adopted, whereby international laws that set out the rights of indigenous peoples and place duties on states in this regard, are reinforced and translated into practice through the self-regulation of the international oil industry through a voluntary code of conduct for oil companies seeking to operate on indigenous peoples' traditional lands."

Once they are closest to the population, the decisions made at the municipal level are readily perceived by users and citizens. On the other hand, the social demands and the management of the administrative structure need efficient financial management and a constant search for resources. Additionally, the 9.478/97 Act, which amended the mode of distribution of oil revenues, brought to some municipalities, a new frontier of resources available by the distribution of oil royalties. Given this new frontier of resources, one wonders whether there is not relaxation in fiscal effort and an increasing inefficiency in the management of the administrative machinery by the benefited municipalities. The aim of this work is verify if petroleum revenues cause distortions in the way municipalities run their fiscal effort, that is, if the oil royalties contribute to increase inefficiencies in the municipalities involved in their search for the own revenues and their expense management. For this work, we selected 56 municipalities of the State of S??o Paulo which have been received the distribution of oil revenues during the period between the years 2005 to 2012. The efficiency of municipalities was obtained from a non-parametric production frontier model, the Data Envelopment Analysis - DEA, creating a ranking of the S??o Paulo municipalities which received oil royalties. Given the distribution rules of oil royalties imposed by the regulatory framework, the results showed the values distributed to S??o Paulo municipalities have great variability and has been showed relevant only in a few municipalities. There was no significant difference in the tax effort of the municipalities affected by the variable oil royalites. However, several factors related to municipal management indicated that such rents can contribute to increase inefficiencies in the management of municipal administrative machinery / A descentraliza????o federativa, promovida pela Constitui????o Federal de 1988, elevou os Munic??pios brasileiros ao importante papel na dissemina????o das pol??ticas p??blicas. Por estarem mais pr??ximos da popula????o, as decis??es realizadas na esfera municipal s??o prontamente percebidas pelos usu??rios e pelos cidad??os. Por outro lado, as demandas sociais e a administra????o da m??quina administrativa necessitam de uma gest??o financeira eficiente e uma constante busca por recursos. Adicionalmente, a Lei 9.478/97, que alterou o modo de distribui????o das rendas do petr??leo, trouxe, para alguns Munic??pios, uma nova fronteira de recursos, disponibilizada pela distribui????o dos royalties de petr??leo. Diante dessa nova fronteira de recursos, questiona-se se n??o h??, por parte dos Munic??pios beneficiados, um relaxamento no esfor??o fiscal e o aumento da inefici??ncia na gest??o da m??quina administrativa. Neste trabalho objetiva-se verificar se as rendas do petr??leo provocam distor????es na forma como os Munic??pios s??o conduzidos em seu esfor??o fiscal, ou seja, se os royalties de petr??leo contribuem para o aumento das inefici??ncias nos Munic??pios envolvidos em sua busca pelas receitas pr??prias e na sua gest??o de despesas. Para a realiza????o deste trabalho, foram selecionados 56 Munic??pios do Estado de S??o Paulo, contemplados pela distribui????o das rendas do petr??leo durante o per??odo compreendido entre os anos de 2005 a 2012. A efici??ncia dos Munic??pios foi obtida a partir de um modelo de fronteira de produ????o n??o param??trico, a An??lise Envolt??ria de Dados, criando um ranking dos Munic??pios paulistas beneficiados pelos royalties de petr??leo. Os resultados mostraram que, diante das regras de distribui????o dos royalties de petr??leo impostas pelo marco regulat??rio, os valores distribu??dos aos Munic??pios paulistas possuem grande variabilidade e s??o relevantes apenas em poucos Munic??pios. N??o houve diferen??a significativa no esfor??o fiscal dos Munic??pios afetados pela vari??vel royalites de petr??leo. No entanto, diversos fatores ligados ?? gest??o municipal indicaram que tais rendas contribuem para aumentar as inefici??ncias na gest??o da m??quina administrativa municipal
