Abstract

We aim at evaluating the existence of synergists effects between the Bolsa Família and Primeira Infância Melhor programs on mortality of children aged under 1 year and aged 1 to 4 years old in the municipalities of Rio Grande do Sul. We use a municipality panel data from 2006 and 2012, and we apply the fixed effects estimator. We found evidence that the there are some synergists effects of the programs on the reduction of mortality rates motivated by external causes in both age groups. Such effects are observed for municipalities with a longer time of exposure to Primeira Infância Melhor and high coverage of Bolsa Família. The results of this research matter as they can be used as subsidies for the actions of the Criança Feliz program that is similar to Primeira Infância Melhor and whose priority public is the beneficiaries of Bolsa Família.
