Abstract

The influence of universities on regional development has been increasingly investigated. The possibilities of this relationship are diverse. However, the economic impacts of universities on the regions in which they are located are not always estimated. In this regard, this research aims to identify the economic impact of the Laranjeiras do Sul Campus of the Federal University of Fronteira Sul on the development of the Cantuquiriguaçu Territory. The methodological procedures used are based on the American Council on Education (ACE) model, with a simplification adopted by Fernandes (2009). To do this, we consider the expenditures of teaching and administrative staff, students, and institutional expenses of the Laranjeiras do Sul Campus. The research results indicate that annually, the expenditures of these groups amount to R$ 35 million. When the multiplier of 1.7 suggested by Fernandes (2009) is applied, an annual economic impact of R$ 59,898,968.29 is observed, which corresponds to R$ 4,991,580.69 per month, spent on various goods and services offered in Laranjeiras do Sul and the region.
