Resumo: What is the relationship between party alignment and the allocation of federal recognition and emergency resources to Brazilian municipalities? We propose that even though disasters are given by nature, politics matter for federal recognition and the amount of transfers received. The argument is that the government will benefit the aligned mayors, recognizing the emergency declarations and allocating more resources to the municipalities of the same party. Considering the Brazilian coalition presidentialism, we tested three hypotheses for political alignment: alignment with the president, with the coalition, and with the minister of the portfolio. We present an original database with emergency declarations by the municipalities and the amounts transferred for that purpose in the period from 2010 to 2015. We used Poisson regression models and a two-part model to test our hypotheses. The results indicate that declarations and emergency transfers are allocated in a way that benefits political allies at the subnational level, especially mayors aligned with the minister of the portfolio.

Proponemos que, aunque los desastres se den por naturaleza, la política es importante para el reconocimiento federal y la cantidad de transferencias recibidas. El argumento es que el gobierno beneficiará a los alcaldes alineados, reconociendo las declaraciones de emergencia y asignando más recursos a los municipios de la misma parte. Considerando el presidencialismo de la coalición brasileña, probamos tres hipótesis de alineamiento político: alineamiento con el presidente, con la coalición y con el ministro de la cartera. Presentamos una base de datos original con declaraciones de emergencia de los municipios y los montos transferidos para ese fin en el período de 2010 a 2015. Utilizamos modelos de regresión de Poisson y en dos partes para probar nuestras hipótesis. Los resultados indican que las declaraciones y las transferencias de emergencia se asignan de una manera que beneficia a los aliados políticos a nivel subnacional, especialmente a los alcaldes alineados con el ministro de la carter.Qual a relação entre o alinhamento partidário e a alocação de reconhecimento e recursos federais emergenciais para os municípios brasileiros? Propomos que, mesmo sendo os desastres dados pela natureza, a política importa para o reconhecimento federal e o valor em transferências recebido. O argumento é que o governo beneficiará os prefeitos alinhados, reconhecendo as declarações de emergência e alocando mais recursos para os municípios do mesmo partido. Considerando o presidencialismo de coalizão brasileiro, testamos três hipóteses para o alinhamento político: alinhamento com o presidente, com a coalizão e com o ministro da Integração Nacional. Apresentamos um banco de dados original com as declarações de emergência para os municípios e os valores transferidos para esse fim no período de 2010 a 2015. Utilizamos modelos de regressão de Poisson e um modelo em duas partes para testar nossas hipóteses. Os resultados indicam que as declarações são reconhecidas e as transferências de emergência são alocadas de forma a beneficiar os aliados políticos no nível subnacional, em especial os prefeitos alinhados ao ministro da Integração Nacional.Universidade Estadual de Campinas2021-01-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionTextoTextoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/otherapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/article/view/8663883Opinião Pública; Vol. 26 No. 3 (2020): set./dez.; 522-555Opinião Pública; Vol. 26 Núm. 3 (2020): set./dez.; 522-555Opinião Pública; v. 26 n. 3 (2020): set./dez.; 522-5551807-0191reponame:Opinião Pública (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)instacron:UNICAMPporhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/article/view/8663883/25819Brazil; 201-2015Brasil; 201-2015Brasil; 201-2015Copyright (c) 2020 Oplinião Públicahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHenrique, Anderson Batista, Mariana2021-01-08T11:19:02Zoai:ojs.periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br:article/8663883Revistahttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/opPUBhttps://periodicos.sbu.unicamp.br/ojs/index.php/op/oaicesop@unicamp.br||racael@unicamp.br || rop@unicamp.br1807-01910104-6276opendoar:2021-01-08T11:19:02Opinião Pública (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)false
