Resumo: | The behavioral analysis of law interprets law as a system whose social function is to reduce the occurrence of politically defined socially undesirable behavior (e.g., offenses), predominantly with the use of coercion. Legal norms are formed by interlocked behavioral patterns, emitted by individuals in different institutions, that are influenced by increases (punitive) or decreases (defensive) in the probability of sanctions being applied. The behavior of applying sanctions, typically by a judge, performs a crucial function in the legal behavior chain, considering that it occurs at the end of the chain and provides feedback to all its antecedent nodes. In the present research, the application of sanctions by the Federal Court of Accounts contingent to the behaviorof managers of federal resources who had their accounts judged as irregular. In order to do this, information contained in two random samples (371 names in each), drawn from the public list, sent to the electoral justice, that contains the names of people whose accounts were judged as irregular. Results indicated that: a) the mean percentage of the fine, established in article 57 of the Law 8.443/92, relatively to the liability value, was equal to 16% in the two samples; b) the value of this fine increased significantly with increases in the liability value and for offenses perpetrated in bad faith; and c) the percentage of this fine decreased significantly with increases in the liability value. In general, results suggest the utility of the theoretical framework advanced by the behavioral analysis of law for the empirical investigation and the interpretation of legal behavior. |

As normas jurídicas são formadas por padrões de comportamentos entrelaçados, emitidos por indivíduos em diferentes instituições, que são influenciados por aumentos (comportamento punitivo) ou diminuições (comportamento defensivo) na probabilidade de aplicação de sanções. O comportamento de aplicar sanções, tipicamente por um magistrado, desempenha função crucial na cadeia de comportamentos jurídicos, tendo em vista que ocorre no final da cadeia e retroalimenta todos os nós que o antecedem. Na presente pesquisa investigou-se a aplicação de sanções pelo Tribunal de Contas da União contingentes ao comportamento de gestores de recursos federais que tiveram suas contas julgadas irregulares. Para isso foram examinadas as informações contida em duas amostras aleatórias (371 nomes em cada), extraídas da lista pública de responsáveis com contas irregulares enviadas à justiça eleitoral. Os resultados indicaram que: a) a porcentagem média da multa do art. 57 da Lei 8.443/92, com relação ao valor do débito, foi de 16% nas duas amostras; b) os valores dessa multa aumentaram significativamente com aumentos no valor do débito e para condutas com indícios de má-fé dos gestores; e c) a porcentagem dessa multa diminuiu significativamente com aumentos no valor do débito. Tomados em conjunto, os resultados sugerem a utilidade do arcabouço teórico da análise comportamental do direito para a investigação empírica e a interpretação de comportamentos jurídicos.
