Resumo: This paper uses the sharp discontinuity regression methodology to investigate whether political competition affects the allocation of public expenditures among municipalities in Brazil. Election data from 2004 to 2016 suggest that the level of political competition seems to have changed over the course of electoral cycles, since we found the migration of votes to more competitive candidates less intense than that described in the literature (Fujiwara 2011, Chamon et al. 2017). Additionally, we found evidence that municipalities with more competitive elections reduced their administrative expenditures (less salient) in election years.

Os dados das eleições de 2004 a 2016 sugerem que o nível de competição política parece ter se alterado ao longo dos ciclos eleitorais, uma vez que encontramos a migração de votos para candidatos mais competitivos menos intensa do que o descrito na literatura (Fujiwara 2011, Chamon et al. 2017). Adicionalmente encontramos evidências de que municípios com eleições mais competitivas reduziram seus gastos administrativos (menos salientes) em anos de eleição.Universidade de São Paulo, FEA-RP/USP2021-11-23info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/article/view/15836210.11606/1980-5330/ea158362Economia Aplicada; Vol. 25 No. 4 (2021); 545-580Economia Aplicada; Vol. 25 Núm. 4 (2021); 545-580Economia Aplicada; v. 25 n. 4 (2021); 545-5801980-53301413-8050reponame:Economia Aplicadainstname:Universidade de São Paulo (USP)instacron:USPporhttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/article/view/158362/177648Copyright (c) 2021 Economia Aplicadahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTeixeira, Caroline ReisMattos, Enlinson2022-05-12T15:59:37Zoai:revistas.usp.br:article/158362Revistahttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoaPUBhttps://www.revistas.usp.br/ecoa/oai||revecap@usp.br1980-53301413-8050opendoar:2023-09-13T12:17:13.888881Economia Aplicada - Universidade de São Paulo (USP)false
