The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of exports on the economic growth of Brazilian micro-regions, during the period 2000-2010, in the light of Feder model (1982). According to Feder model, exports increases economic growth because of productivity difference existing between the export sector and the non-exporter sector and because of the positive externality generated by the export sector on the non-export sector. Estimating the empirical model by the technique of spatial panel data, with fixed effect, the assumptions of the Feder model were confirmed, showing that exports have indirect effects on economic growth of the Brazilians micro-regions.
