Perceptions of Government Aid by Small Businesses After 2023 Chile Floods

131 survey responses from micro and small enterprises in four communes of Chile's Maule region assess government aid after the 2023 floods. Miguel A. Bustamante-Ubilla collected this data using a structured questionnaire, analyzing it with descriptive-correlational and structural equation modeling techniques. Results identify two key dimensions: knowledge and use of aid, and the information and allocation of support.

Use Cases

• Modeling determinants of aid perception based on survey dimensions like knowledge and communication.
• Analyzing the relationship between aid knowledge and critical evaluations of its effectiveness.
• Studying the impact of aid timeliness on trust in government support in post-disaster contexts.
• Benchmarking institutional communication strategies against small business perceptions.

Strengths

• Data is based on a structured survey with 131 respondents, providing a specific sample size.
• Analysis employed inferential statistics and structural equation modeling, suggesting a structured analytical approach.
• Dataset has a clear CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating open reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for some analytical methods.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The study is based on a relatively small sample gathered shortly after the disaster, as noted by the author.
