Resumo
This paper uses a new panel of more than two thousand Brazilian municipalities over
thirteen years to analyze the influence of public expenditures on the probability of mayors’
reelection. We examine Brazilian municipal elections from 1988 to 2000 using a logit fixed effects model. The results suggest that higher public expenditures executed during the whole
political term increase the probability of reelection of Brazilian mayors. In particular, higher
capital spending over the years preceding elections and current expenditures in election years
are beneficial to Brazilian incumbent mayors.
