Resumo(s)
This Work Project evaluates the impact of the arrears program «Local Economy Support
Program» (PAEL), on the water services provided by Portuguese municipalities. The
municipalities entering PAEL had to accept a number of commitments, including increasing
taxes and tariffs. Hence, we want to analyze how this affects the water services provided by
municipalities. We find statistical evidence that PAEL was associated with an increase in water
quality, in a range of values for an increase in water quality of 0.373 to 0.663 (in absolute
terms), from an already high average water quality above 98%.
