The objective of this paper is to analyze the birth of companies in the cities of Rio Grande do Sul State between 2007 and 2013. For that, exploratory analysis of spatial data and the panel data regression were used. The results indicated the existence of spatial autocorrelation of the birth of companies and the formation of some clusters of the counties with high births of companies. The spatial autoregression (SAR) model showed the spillover effect of the birth of companies and made it possible to measure the direct and indirect impacts of the independent variables on the birth of companies.
