SUMMARY:

Competitiveness is a significant element in the growth and development of companies and countries, in addition to being a valuable analysis tool for decision-making. Competitiveness indices have been widely used to identify and reference competitive and productive potential. Concerning the public sector, such a perspective is used as doubtful by some, since, in the government sector, the premises that govern the dynamics of this sector are opposite to those of the private sector. This research aims to analyze, among a set of factors, which explain the competitiveness ranking of Brazilian municipalities, using as a proxy the indicator prepared by the Centro de Liderança Pública (CLP) for the year 2022. The indicator was prepared for 415 municipalities and in this investigation, one was excluded due to lack of data. The ranking score was used as a dependent variable and explanatory variables related to social and economic factors, personal characteristics of managers and management were established. The Agency Theory Applied to the Public Sector was used as theoretical support and the analyzes were performed with the GLM (Generalized Linear Models) with Tweedie distribution. Data were collected on the websites of the Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional (STN), the Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), the Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (IPEA), the platform of the Conselho Federal de Administração and the platform of the Índice Firjan de Desenvolvimento Municipal (FIRJAN). The results revealed as explanatory factors of the ranking of competitiveness of Brazilian municipalities: own tax collection, the Gini index, the Firjan Index of Fiscal Management (IFGF), gender and the level of complete higher education. The study collaborated with the advancement of the literature with discussions on the Agency Theory Applied to the Public Sector and the competitiveness of Brazilian municipalities. For society, it represents yet another instrument of social control by promoting accountability and reducing informational asymmetry. For managers, the results can help in decision-making in order to improve the development of public policies.
