- Multi-dimensional inequality and Covid-19 in Brazil Luiza Nassif Pires Laura Barbosa de Carvalho Eduardo Lederman Rawet Economía y Finanzas D31 I14 J15 Covid Inequality The paper presents empirical evidence from Brazil on the bidirectional relationship between inequality and the Covid-19 crisis: Racial, regional and income inequalities have both aggravated the pandemic and been exacerbated by it. The paper provides a measure of social risk factors to Covid-19, which is positively associated with the number of Covid-19 cases across Brazilian states. This is complemented by a discussion of the country’s inequalities in access to healthcare and in the incidence of comorbidities, which elucidates observed disparities in the need of a ventilator and in the number of deaths by Covid-19. Finally, our empirical analysis suggests that the substantive fiscal effort in the country and particularly the implementation of the cash relief program Auxílio Emergencial neutralized the short-term increase in wage disparities but has been insufficient to neutralize the cost of multi-dimensional structural inequalities on Brazil’s death tolls 2021 artículo científico 0185-1667 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=60171806002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/601/60171806002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/601/60171806002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/601/60171806002/60171806002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/601/60171806002/movil 10.14482/INDES.30.1.303.661 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=601 Investigación Económica application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Investigación Económica (México) Num.315 Vol.LXXX
