Resumo: This study analyzes the demographic characteristics of elected mayors in Brazil, emphasizing those who are business owners. The research observes whether mayors with a background as business owners obtain better performance in office, which is evaluated through the municipality’s fiscal situation and the IDEB (basic education development index) score. The research was conducted in two parts. The first part used logistic regression and sought to identify the profile of elected mayors. The second part analyzed whether mayors who were business owners obtained a superior performance using the multilevel regression model. The study observed that the majority of mayors had a background as business owners, but this characteristic was not significant to explain electoral success. The results of the second part did not find a correlation between mayors who are business owners and their performance. The only demographic characteristic relevant to explain differences in municipalities’ fiscal results was the mayor’s age. Therefore, mayors who were business owners did not present results different from those who have other backgrounds, which allows us to assume that this group does not have better skills and judgments. One of the limitations of this study is that the characteristic of being a business owner was obtained by self-declaration.

Para ello, el trabajo se dividió en dos partes. En la primera, mediante regresión logística, se buscó encontrar el perfil del candidato elegido. En la segunda parte del artículo se analizó si el perfil elegido por los votantes era responsable de un desempeño superior. La metodología utilizada fue la de regresión multinivel. En cuanto a los resultados, a pesar de que los empresarios fueron mayoría entre los candidatos, esta característica no fue significativa para explicar el éxito electoral. En general, en la segunda parte de la investigación, los resultados no demostraron correlación entre el perfil de los elegidos y el desempeño de la gestión municipal. Solo la edad del alcalde fue significativa para explicar el tema fiscal de los municipios. De esta forma, los emprendedores no presentan resultados diferentes a la media, lo que nos permite concluir que este grupo no tiene mejores habilidades y juicios. Entre las limitaciones de este trabajo, está la cuestión de que la variable “emprendedor” haya sido declarada libremente por los candidatos.O objetivo deste artigo é levantar as características demográficas dos prefeitos eleitos, enfatizando os candidatos que se declaram empresários, e analisar se esse perfil tem melhores resultados quanto ao desempenho, medidos com base na situação fiscal e no Índice de Educação Básica (IDEB) do município. Para tanto, o trabalho foi dividido em duas partes. Na primeira, por meio de regressão logística, buscou-se encontrar o perfil do candidato eleito, centrando-se no fato de ele ser empresário. Na segunda seção do artigo, com o emprego da metodologia de regressão multinível, foi analisado se tal perfil escolhido pelos eleitores era responsável por um desempenho superior. Com relação aos resultados, apesar de os empresários constituírem a maioria entre os candidatos, essa característica não foi significativa para o sucesso eleitoral. Na segunda parte da pesquisa, de modo geral os resultados não encontraram correlação entre o perfil dos eleitos e o desempenho da gestão municipal. Somente a idade do prefeito foi significativa na questão fiscal dos municípios. Dessa forma, os empresários não apresentam resultados diferentes da média, o que permite pressupor que esse grupo não tem melhores habilidades e julgamentos.Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EBAPE)2022-10-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/8793010.1590/0034-761220210437Brazilian Journal of Public Administration; Vol. 56 No. 5 (2022); 562-582Revista de Administração Pública; Vol. 56 Núm. 5 (2022); 562-582Revista de Administração Pública; v. 56 n. 5 (2022); 562-5821982-31340034-7612reponame:Revista de Administração Públicainstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/87930/82703https://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/87930/82704Pereira, Helder Marcos FreitasSaes, Maria Sylvia Macchioneinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-28T15:39:14Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/87930Revistahttps://ebape.fgv.br/publicacoes/rapONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||rap@fgv.br1982-31340034-7612opendoar:2022-10-28T15:39:14Revista de Administração Pública - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
