The FEA-USP Workshop on the Economics of Crime, held in São Paulo, marked the launch of the Study Group on the Economics of Crime and Violence (GEECRIM) and brought together researchers to discuss topics such as urban and domestic violence, organized crime, the environment, and public policies. The program featured academic presentations and discussions, bringing together researchers from institutions such as FEA-USP, IRI-USP, FGV, and Insper. At the event, Vinícius Peçanha, a researcher at Leme, presented the paper “The Effects of Urban Violence on Primary Health Care Services: Evidence from Poor Neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro,” co-authored with Julia Guerra, Joana Monteiro, Rudi Rocha, Thomas Hone, and Chris Millett. The paper analyzes the impacts of armed violence on access to, utilization of, and quality of primary health care services in Rio de Janeiro.
