Análise da produtividade total dos fatores da Polícia Militar de Minas Gerais entre 2015 e 2019

Abstract

This study analyzes the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of the Military Police of Minas Gerais (PMMG) at the municipal level over the period from 2015 to 2019. Methodologically, the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) with bootstrap was employed, constructed using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), based on a set of inputs and outputs associated with PMMG activities. The results indicate that TFP improved in approximately 52% of the regions in Minas Gerais, while approximately 48% experienced stagnation or a decline in productivity indicators. Productivity gains were associated with improvements in technical efficiency, in a context of technological stagnation across localities. Furthermore, it was observed that, on average, municipalities with TFP improvements exhibited better socioeconomic indicators compared to the others. The study concludes that PMMG’s performance during the period was characterized by significant territorial and institutional heterogeneity, suggesting the need for public security policies to be guided by local specificities and enhanced regional integration.
