Resumo

Esta monografia investiga o efeito das condições fiscais locais sobre a mortalidade durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Por meio de um modelo de diferenças em diferenças, evidencia-se que municípios em melhor situação fiscal apresentam menor mortalidade durante a pandemia. Para entender tais resultados é apresentado um modelo teórico que sugere que a existência de espaço fiscal local permite que os prefeitos expandam a capacidade de atendimento hospitalar, reduzindo com isso a mortalidade durante a pandemia. Posteriormente, é analisado que municípios em melhor situação fiscal conseguem expandir o número de leitos, a quantidade de médicos e enfermeiros em relação aos municípios em piores condições fiscais. A situação fiscal local favorável permite também uma oferta de serviços de melhor qualidade para o tratamento da COVID-19. Tais resultados indicam que a capacidade fiscal contribuiu para mitigar os efeitos da pandemia da COVID-19, principalmente, pela expansão da capacidade de atendimento hospitalar.
