Resumo: This paper aims to analyze the environmental efficiency of Brazilian municipalities and to relate it to a set of local socioeconomic characteristics, controlling technological heterogeneity and spatial dependence. A Metafrontier Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method has been applied to measure the efficiency, based on the Brazilian greenhouse gas emissions. Afterward we estimate a Spatial Autoregressive model (SAR) relating environmental efficiency to municipal socioeconomic characteristics. The main results show that variables such as income and HDI were positively related to the environmental efficiency. On the other hand, inequality and education showed negative relations. In addition, we found evidence of “environmental spillover” effect, which could indicate positive externalities when sustainable practices are implanted at reginal level. Keywords greenhouse gas; environmental efficiency; Brazilian municipalities; data envelopment analysis; spatial autoregressive model

Para tanto, utilizou-se o método de Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA) Metafrontier para construir o indicador, que foi baseado nas emissões de gases de efeito estufa. Em seguida, ajustou-se um modelo que relaciona eficiência ambiental, características socioeconômicas e dependência espacial (Spatial Autoregressive Model). Os principais resultados revelaram que renda per capita e IDH se relacionaram positivamente com o indicador de eficiência. Por outro lado, as variáveis desigualdade e educação mostraram relação negativa com o índice. Ademais, houve evidências de efeito “spillover ambiental” entre municípios, indicando que a criação de práticas sustentáveis em âmbito local pode produzir externalidades positivas regionalmente.
