O objetivo desta dissertaÃÃo foi avaliar como os indivÃduos pobres, residentes na RegiÃo Nordeste, beneficiaram-se do crescimento econÃmico (crescimento prÃ-pobre),. Para esta finalidade, aplicou-se as metodologias propostas por Ravallion e Chen (2002) e Son (2004) aos dados da PNAD entre os anos 1987 a 2004 para os estados nordestinos. Os resultados mostraram que durante a dÃcada de 90, principalmente entre os anos de 1995 e 1999, ocorreu uma grande incidÃncia de crescimento prÃ-pobre. A tÃtulo de contribuiÃÃo inÃdita, foi proposta uma nova metodologia, onde se avaliou a distribuiÃÃo de renda dos estados, formando um ranking desagregado da pobreza na regiÃo. A partir deste ranking, observou-se que os pobres que detÃm a melhor condiÃÃo de renda no Nordeste residem nos estados de Pernambuco e da Bahia. / The objective of this dissertation was to evaluate if the poor resident individuals of the Northeast region had benefited themselves of the economic growth (pro-poor growth ), as well as the remain of the society.
