Abstract
This study analyzes the factors influencing the competitiveness ranking of Brazilian municipalities in 2022. To do so, it uses the indicator from the Center for Public Leadership (CLP). As a quantitative metric, the Generalized Linear Models (GLM) with Tweedie distribution were employed. Data from one municipality among the 415 analyzed were excluded. The explanatory variables include social and economic factors, characteristics of managers, and fiscal management. The results indicate that Own Tax Revenue, the FIRJAN Fiscal Management Index (IFGF), and the level of completed higher education are statistically significant in explaining municipal competitiveness.
Keywords: Competitiveness. Indices. Ranking. Municipalities.
