摘要

本文研究了竞选支出限制对巴西地方政治家政治进入、政治选择和政治行为的影响。我们分析了一项限制市长选举竞选支出的改革。这些限制是用不连续性来实现的,我们利用它来进行因果识别。我们发现,更严格的限制降低了连任率,并通过吸引更多不那么富有、不那么依赖自筹资金的候选人,增加了政治竞争。尽管对选举结果产生了影响,但更严格的限制并没有在教育和卫生等政策结果方面带来重大的短期改善。(2012年12月)

Money and Politics: The Effects of Campaign Spending Limits on Political Entry and Competition
This paper studies the effects of campaign spending limits on the political entry, selection, and behavior of local politicians in Brazil. We analyze a reform that limits campaign spending for mayoral elections. The limits were implemented with a discontinuity that we exploit for causal identification. We find that stricter limits reduce reelection rates and increase political competition by attracting more candidates who are also less wealthy and rely less on self-financing. Despite their effects on electoral outcomes, stricter limits did not lead to significant short-run improvements in policy outcomes, such as in education and health. (JEL D72, O17)
