Abstract: El artículo examina si las sanciones de Estados Unidos desde 2017 agravaron el colapso económico y la emigración venezolana a través del sector petrolero. Con un diseño de diferencias en diferencias compara municipios petroleros y no petroleros usando luces nocturnas, ventas de alimentos, migración y participación electoral. No encuentra deterioro ni emigración desproporcionados en zonas petroleras, cuestionando que las sanciones fueran el principal motor de la crisis.
