The industrial sector should be the driving force behind the development and economic growth of an economy." For some researchers, the highlighted passage is almost an absolute truth. For Kaldor, this sector would be responsible for raising the levels of growth and development of an economy. However, in order for this to be true, the mentioned sector must not only present a certain dynamism, that is able to absorb gains of productivity, but also economies of scales, that is, to present static and dynamic characteristics. Knowing what led to a low growth in the United Kingdom motivated Kaldor to carry out his main study and work. From this study, what has become known in the economic literature as the Kaldor-Verdoon Law has emerged. According to Kaldor, the rate of growth of productivity would be explained by the rate of growth of production, and that growth would be more than proportional to the growth of production. The goal of this work is to verify the Kaldor-Verdoorn Law in the period from 2002 to 2017. The variables are: Production and Productivity. As variables, you can use this unit rost in the first category. Johansen's cointegration test pointed to the existence of a long-term equilibrium relationship. As the series presented cointegration, the error correction model is estimated. Lastly, to test the validity, the existence of causality was tested, in the sense of Granger, in order to know if Production causes Productivity, a fundamental result to know if the law is valid or not for the national industry in the analyzed period.
