Abstract

The article’s goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Emergency Aid Program (PAE) in reducing the likelihood of individuals having related symptoms or testing positive for Covid-19. The hypothesis tested is that people who received Emergency Aid were able to reduce circulation and maintain a higher degree of social isolation, and therefore were less likely to have related symptoms and/or test positive. The methodology adopted was the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) models, with data from the PNAD-COVID19 (IBGE) survey from May to December 2020. The results found confirm the hypothesis of this work.
