Abstract

This study aims to assess the effect of concessions in basic sanitation services on the provision of sanitation services in the municipalities of São Gabriel and Uruguaiana, located in Brazil's southern region. The application was conducted using the Generalized Synthetic Control method developed by Xu (2017). Based on the estimates, improvements were observed in the municipalities that received the concessions, specifically in indicators measuring the number of people supplied with water, sewage treatment, the investment amount for water supply, and the total number of hired employees.
