Resumo: We measured the instability of the Executive branch in Brazil by examining ministerial turnover rates.We designed a model with twelve covariates to determine their impact on minister dismissals and, therefore, on the political instability across different administrations between 1946 and 1964. These variables referred to ministerial profiles, institutional and situational factors, spanning both political and economic dimensions. Our findings, obtained by employing the Cox proportional hazards model, revealed two pivotal factors in explaining the political configuration during this timeframe: a rise in the effective number of parties in the Chamber of Deputies and consistent fluctuations in the number of parties represented in the ministerial cabinet, driven by the necessity to accommodate allies. Political variables associated with regime consolidation,such as the age of democracy, or economic variables, such as the increases in GDP and the decline in inflation rates, were not significant.

Los resultados obtenidos mediante el uso del modelo de riesgos proporcionales de Cox mostraron que dos factores fueron preponderantes para explicar la configuración política de este período: el incremento del número efectivo de partidos en la Cámara de Diputados y la variación constante del número de partidos representados en el gabinete debido a la necesidad de acomodar a los aliados. Las variables políticas vinculadas a la consolidación del régimen, como los años de la democracia, o la variable económica, como el aumento del PIB y la disminución de las tasas de inflación, no resultaron significativas.Mensuramos a instabilidade do poder Executivo no Brasil olhando para a taxa de rotatividade ministerial.Desenvolvemos um modelo com doze covariáveis para verificar se elas impactam na demissão dos ministros e, portanto, na instabilidade política dos diferentes governos entre 1946 e 1964. Essas variáveis se referem ao perfil dos ministros, a fatores institucionais e conjunturais, tanto políticos quanto econômicos. Os resultadosobtidos através do modelo de riscos proporcionais de Cox mostraram que dois fatores foram preponderantes para explicar a configuração política desse período: o aumento do número efetivo de partidos na Câmara dos Deputados e a constante variação na quantidade de partidos representados no gabinete dada a necessidade de acomodar aliados. Variáveis políticas ligadas à consolidação do regime, como a idade de existência da democracia, ou econômicas, como o aumento do PIB e a diminuição das taxas de inflação, não foram significativas.Editora FGV2024-02-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/90129Revista Estudos Históricos; Vol. 37 No. 81 (2024): Elites políticas e sociaisRevista Estudos Históricos; v. 37 n. 81 (2024): Elites políticas e sociais2178-14940103-2186reponame:Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro)instname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/article/view/90129/85278http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCodato, AdrianoJúnior, Paulo FranzSangalli, AmandaSilva, Rodrigo2024-02-28T12:49:46Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/90129Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rehONGhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/reh/oai||biblioteca.digital@fgv.br||eh@fgv.br2178-14940103-2186opendoar:2024-03-06T13:02:23.482056Estudos Históricos (Rio de Janeiro) - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
