Resumo
This chapter presents a theoretical and an empirical analysis of the effect of inequality on the cost of
electoral campaigns. An electoral competition model suggests that electoral campaigns costs increase
with the level of inequality. An econometric analysis of Brazilian 2002 and 2004 elections at the state
and municipal levels supports the results of the theoretic model. Moreover, the regressions suggest that
the lower the age dispersion and the higher the education dispersion of voters, the more expensive the
electoral campaigns. The empirical and theoretic results stress the importance of careful campaign
financing regulation in highly-unequal Latin American countries.
