Abstract

The paper develops and tests a model of political cycles for municipal management as related to electoral agenda during 1998-2006. Panel data on forty municipal units in the state of Rio de Janeiro are used to estimate several equations depicting specific municipal effects. Results have been submitted to an econometric test that is needed in cases where some data may be missing. Findings indicate that the electoral agenda exerts a significant impact upon mayors’ behavior. In some cases the mayor’s party affiliation has impacted upon municipal expenditures. The main conclusion points out that a significant effect of party coincidence may be seen as a sort of “fiscal adjustment agreement” among government levels.
