Abstract
This paper provides evidence with respect to the productivity of municipal workers. The hypothesis that municipal workers have a positive effect on municipal product is based on a database from the National System of Municipal Information (SINIM), mayors’ salary scales and an index of municipal product. The findings confirm the hypothesis of decreasing marginal returns, while professional staffs have a positive effect on the total municipal product.
