Políticas de precificação do setor de saneamento urbano no Brasil: as evidências do equilíbrio de baixo nível

Abstract: O artigo analisa a existência do Equilíbrio de Baixo Nível no setor de saneamento urbano brasileiro, de acordo com o modelo de Spiller e Savedoff (1999). Neste tipo de equilíbrio existe um círculo vicioso entre o oportunismo do governo, preços abaixo dos custos de fornecimento, ausência de investimentos e a baixa qualidade dos serviços de utilidade pública. A exemplo de outros países da América Latina, os resultados demonstram que, com poucas exceções, a qualidade dos serviços de abastecimento urbano de água e… Show more

“…Thus, cities depend on top-down, centralized interventions to expand service provision. It has been shown that sewage collection and treatment services in Brazil follow this path [ 40 ] and, although no explicit publications were found for the economic equilibrium level of health services, it is likely that, given its high costs, the same holds true. In this scenario, only larger municipalities, with higher local tax revenues, have enough money to invest in these infrastructures.…”

“…This leads to municipalities without universal access to specific types of infrastructure and, therefore, to a superlinear scaling of the variables measuring this infrastructure. The case of water distribution is different: its access was made almost universal in the country some decades ago thought public investments [ 40 ]. The difference between variables under the low-level equilibrium regime and variables out of it can be observed in Fig 5 .…”

“…Also the lack of credibility of governments may lead the public to view the privatization process as a result of favoritism, resulting in a solution of high political cost. Faria et al. (2005) argued that the Brazilian experience has not been very different of other experiences in Latin American countries.…”
