dc.description.otherThis paper investigates the effect of commodity booms on illiteracy using panel data from Brazilian municipalities covering a period of more than a century, before and after the abolition of slavery and proclamation of republic. We construct a new time-varying and municipality-specific measure of potential export revenues, composed of a weighted average of each commodity’s international price with weights given by the municipality’s suitability to produce each of the commodities. Our results shows that an increase of one standard deviation of potential exports in the recent past leads to a reduction of 14 percentage points in the share of illiterates in the municipality. With regards to mechanisms, we show that increases in potential exports promote structural transformation and changes the racial composition in the municipality, which explains the majority of the negative effect of potential exports on illiteracy.pt_BR
