Resumo(s)
In this paper, we study the economic effects of the persecution against immigrant
prostitutes that became internationally known as the Mothers of Bragança social
movement. Using a synthetic control method approach, we estimate the impact on local
economic conditions, namely on GDP per capita, volume of withdrawals in ATMs per
habitant, number of private firms, consumption of electricity per habitant, and
employment in private firms. Our findings suggest that the closure of bars and cafes
involved with prostitution had a positive impact in Bragança. This result can be explained
by the extensive media coverage, including the cover and the main article of Time
magazine presenting the municipality as “Europe’s new red-light district”, boosting the
inflow of tourists to the region and increasing GDP per capita and the number of firms,
especially those related with touristic activities.
