Resumen

Este trabajo evalúa el impacto de la implementación del Servicio de Atención Médica de Emergencias (SAME) en la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina, sobre las muertes por accidentes viales. A partir de información mensual de accidentes de tránsito de los 135 municipios de la provincia para los años 2016, 2017 y 2018, se explota la variabilidad en el momento de implementación entre los municipios y el hecho de que algunos nunca adoptaron el servicio para identificar el efecto promedio de la intervención en los municipios con SAME mediante la metodología de Diferencias en Diferencias. El principal resultado es que la incorporación del SAME produjo una reducción promedio del 19% en la tasa de defunciones cada mil accidentados con respecto a su línea de base.
