Abstract

The adoption of public policies to reduce inequality in Brazil has grownsignificantly over the last few years, as a result of a social welfare agenda. In an increasinglyconnected world, social interactions must be taken into account in policy making. This study aims to systematically investigate and map the studies in the area of economics thatconsider the role of networks in the results of social programs and income transfer. Thesystematic review method shows the state of the art in the literature regarding theemployability of social networks within the scope of public policies, highlighting the mainestimation methods, network structures, the most active authors in the area, as well as theopen gaps and motivations for further research. JEL Classification: D85; Z18; J18.
