Resumo: | This article analyzes the effect of daylight saving time (DST) on crimes inthe Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. With the argument that DST provides “more”hours of light throughout the day, it is expected that the criminal behavior will reduce atits implantation, since a clearer environment can dissuade the potential criminal. Making use of several regression discontinuity design (RDD) models and a daily databaseranging from 2006 to 2014 of the Mortality Information System (SIM) of Datasus, themodels were estimated separately by year, being able to include wheater independentvariables (such as temperature, precipitation and wind speed) and fixed effects of daysof the week. It was evidenced that DST has no significant effect on changes in homiciderates per 100,000 inhabitants, neither in its beginning, nor its end. On the other hand,it has been found that, in general, there is a strong weekend effect on criminal activityand some evidence that homicide rates are related to temperature. |

Com o argumento de que o HV fornece “mais” horasde luz ao longo do dia, espera-se que o comportamento criminoso diminua na suaimplantação, uma vez que um ambiente mais claro pode dissuadir o potencial criminoso. Utilizando diversos modelos de regressão descontinuidade e um banco de dadosdiário de 2006 a 2014 do Sistema de Informações sobre Mortalidade (SIM) do Datasus,os modelos foram estimados separadamente por ano, podendo incluir variáveis independentes de maior temperatura (como temperatura, precipitação e velocidade dovento) e efeitos fixos de dias da semana. Evidenciou-se que o HV não tem efeito significativo na mudança das taxas de homicídio por 100.000 habitantes, nem em seu início,nem em seu fim. Por outro lado, verificou-se que, em geral, há um forte efeito de fim desemana sobre a atividade criminosa e algumas evidências de que as taxas de homicídioestão relacionadas à temperatura.UFRGS2021-06-27info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/article/view/8005210.22456/2176-5456.80052Análise Econômica; Vol. 39 No. 79 (2021): Junho/2021Análise Econômica; v. 39 n. 79 (2021): Junho/20212176-54560102-9924reponame:Análise Econômica (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSenghttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/article/view/80052/63415Copyright (c) 2021 Análise Econômicainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCortes, Renan XavierFochezatto, AdelarJacinto, Paulo de Andrade2021-06-27T21:53:15Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/80052Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomicaPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/AnaliseEconomica/oai||rae@ufrgs.br2176-54560102-9924opendoar:2021-06-27T21:53:15Análise Econômica (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false |
