The economic literature traditionally makes comparisons between countries' per capita income in relation to the United States, looking for evidence of convergence or not. However, there is no evidence of studies comparing the per capita income of Brazilian states with the United States. This article deals with the comparison of the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Ceará, over a period of almost three decades. Due to the quality of the data, it used the information contained in Maddson Projec, Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics - IBGE and in the Institute of Applied Economic Research - IPEA / Data.
