Abstract

The present study is pioneer in Brazil and evaluates the cases of some universities in the State of Paraná. Brazil adopts the federation as the administrative political system and being its public Higher Education System basically an attribution of
the Federal Government. Nevertheless, some States, such as Paraná, administrate their own universities. Paraná is a mid-sized income state (sharing 6.5% of national GDP) and settles about 5% of Brazilian population. The analysis ahead uses a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for Paraná and applies an adaptation of a Computational General Equilibrium (CGE)
model developed at Monash University using that type of matrix. The first task considers the impact of the universities expenditures on income and on employment of this State (using classical SAM’s multiplier approach). The subsequent tasks are carried out taking into account the typical input-output closure for the CGE model
