          Abstract

          Resumo Há pouco consenso, nos estudos empíricos, sobre o efeito eleitoral das emendas orçamentárias individuais. O artigo retoma essa questão, utilizando regressões com dados em painel para estudar como as emendas de um deputado afetam seu desempenho na disputa pela reeleição. Ademais, aplica-se uma regressão descontínua para estudar como o partido do prefeito afeta a proposição e a execução das emendas orçamentárias. Os resultados mostram que apenas emendas executadas como transferências a prefeituras geram votos, principalmente quando o prefeito é correligionário do parlamentar. Além disso, um volume maior de emendas é proposto e executado nas prefeituras correligionárias.

          Résumé L'argument selon lequel les députés fédéraux cherchent à se faire une réputation et à se faire réélire en envoyant des fonds à leurs bastions politiques par des amendements budgétaires est commun au Brésil. Cependant, les études empiriques n'ont pas identifié d´effet pertinent de ces amendements sur les élections. Cet article reprend cette question en utilisant des données plus détaillées et des méthodes plus précises pour vérifier l'efficacité électorale des modifications budgétaires. En outre, cette étude explore le rôle que les maires jouent dans la conversion des amendements en votes. Les résultats montrent que seules les modifications budgétaires envoyées en transferts aux administrations municipales peuvent générer des votes, principalement lorsque le maire et le député sont membres du même partis.

          Abstract There is little consensus among empirical studies regarding the electoral effect of individual budget amendments. The present article addresses this question by using regressions with panel data to study how a deputy's amendments affect his performance in the race for re-election. In addition, a regression discontinuity is estimated to assess how the mayor's party affects the proposition and execution of the budget amendments. The results show that only amendments made as transfers to mayoral administrations generate votes, especially when the mayor belongs to the party of the legislator. In addition, a larger volume of amendments is proposed and implemented in the municipalities.

          Resumen Es común en Brasil el argumento de que los diputados federales buscan reputación y reelección enviando fondos a sus fortalezas políticas a través de enmiendas presupuestarias. Sin embargo, los estudios empíricos no han identificado un efecto relevante de estas enmiendas en las elecciones. Este artículo aborda esta cuestión con datos más detallados y métodos más precisos para verificar la eficacia electoral de las enmiendas presupuestarias. Además, este estudio explora el papel que juegan los intendentes en la conversión de las enmiendas en votos. Los resultados muestran que sólo las enmiendas presupuestarias enviadas como transferencias a los gobiernos municipales pueden generar votos, principalmente cuando el alcalde y el diputado son miembros del mismo partido.

              Elections and the Regression Discontinuity Design: Lessons from Close U.S. House Races, 1942–2008

              Following David Lee's pioneering work, numerous scholars have applied the regression discontinuity (RD) design to popular elections. Contrary to the assumptions of RD, however, we show that bare winners and bare losers in U.S. House elections (1942–2008) differ markedly on pretreatment covariates. Bare winners possess large ex ante financial, experience, and incumbency advantages over their opponents and are usually the candidates predicted to win by Congressional Quarterly's pre-election ratings. Covariate imbalance actually worsens in the closest House elections. National partisan tides help explain these patterns. Previous works have missed this imbalance because they rely excessively on model-based extrapolation. We present evidence suggesting that sorting in close House elections is due mainly to activities on or before Election Day rather than postelection recounts or other manipulation. The sorting is so strong that it is impossible to achieve covariate balance between matched treated and control observations, making covariate adjustment a dubious enterprise. Although RD is problematic for postwar House elections, this example does highlight the design's advantages over alternatives: RD's assumptions are clear and weaker than model-based alternatives, and their implications are empirically testable.
