Abstract

Se busca identificar si el Plan de Inclusión Social, un programa de transferencias de ingresos implementado en San Luis en 2003, tuvo efecto sobre el porcentaje de individuos que habitan viviendas de calidad inadecuada. Se construye un panel de datos a nivel aglomerados para el periodo 1996-2006, y se utiliza el Método del Control Sintético para identificar el impacto causal del programa sobre la variable de interés. Los resultados sugieren que el programa posibilitó una reducción de 1.85 puntos porcentuales en el porcentaje de individuos que habitan viviendas de calidad inadecuada, siendo este resultado robusto a diferentes pruebas de falsación.
