Investimento ou aprendizado? Incentivos da reeleição sobre a promoção de capacidades estatais nos municípios brasileiros
Como a reeleição afeta a promoção de capacidades estatais nos municípios brasileiros? A construção de capacidades estatais é geralmente associada a fatores estruturais, como o nível de desenvolvimento socioeconômico. Contudo, como os fatores políticos afetam a escolha dos atores envolvidos em promover ativamente ou não capacidades ainda é um tema pouco explorado. O presente trabalho analisa a relação entre reeleição e a promoção de capacidades es…
Evidências e tomada de decisão em políticas públicas
Como a burocracia federal avalia o uso de evidências na tomada de decisão de políticas públicas no Brasil? O presente trabalho explora o que os tomadores de decisão entendem como evidência para políticas públicas, qual o papel desempenhado por essas informações nas decisões tomadas e quais as principais barreiras e os facilitadores ao seu uso no cotidiano da administração pública. A análise empírica é baseada em 24 entrevistas em profundidade con…
Evidence and Decision-Making in Public Policies
How does the federal bureaucracy evaluate the use of evidence in public policy decision-making in Brazil? This work explores what decision-makers understand as evidence for public policies, the role this information has in decision-making, and the main barriers and facilitators to its use in everyday public administration. The empirical analysis is based on 24 in-depth interviews conducted with managers in the federal government to gather decisio…
The Role of Salience and Emotional Resonance in Cultivating Conservation Caring Among Zoo Visitors
This study investigated the effects of an educational program involving human–dolphin interactions at a zoo on visitors’ conservation caring, behavioral intentions, and knowledge retention. A total of 412 adult zoo visitors participated in this study. Through an experimental design (n = 224 pre-intervention) with a control group (n = 83) and a treatment group (n = 105; exposed to information about the critically endangered Vaquita), the research …
Be careful what you wish for
We know little about how coalitional strategy affects the electoral fates of political parties in presidential democracy. The literature on coalitions in parliamentary systems shows a negative impact of entering government, while the coattail effects literature on presidential systems suggests some benefits. Combining elements from both approaches, we argue that there is a conditional electoral effect of joining the cabinet under coalitional pres…
Transparency's impact on the professionalization of government
Freedom of information (FOI) laws are known to expose governmental weaknesses, but do they improve the structural workings of public administration, professionalizing governance? This study examines FOI's effect on a cornerstone of effective governance—bureaucratic hiring. Using coarsened matching methods to compare over 5400 municipalities in Brazil—approximately half possessing FOI regulations and half without—we identify significant reductions…
Technocrat or partisan cabinet ministers
This article analyses how high‐level bureaucrats evaluate the leadership of technocrat and partisan cabinet ministers in different roles of policymaking. The argument is that bureaucrats perceive ministers with policy expertise to have a central role in policymaking, especially in policy‐directing tasks. Despite their essential contribution to coalition formation, ministers with political experience are negatively evaluated in all policymaking ro…
Bureaucracy and policymaking
Bureaucrats are a fundamental part of the functioning of the modern state and democracies. However, there is still much disagreement about the ideal profile of bureaucrats to deliver quality and responsive policies. Bureaucrats can be meritocratically recruited or politically appointed, creating the dilemma between autonomy and accountability. This article explores this dilemma, identifying the profile of bureaucrats perceived as having the best …
Can we all coexist? An empirical analysis of drivers' and pedestrians' behavior in four different shared space road environments
Power-Sharing, Presidential Style
Minority presidents form coalitions to secure legislative support. However, such support comes at the policy cost of delegating power to coalition partners. Given this dilemma, how do presidents decide on portfolio allocation? The argument is that presidents consider ministries' policy relevance and the characteristics of coalition parties when distributing positions. The president will allocate the most important ministries to aligned ministers …
Industrial Tourism
Industrial tourism asserts itself as a tourist product of high economic, cultural and recreational value, through which the visitor can experience the dynamics of companies in activity and/or relive activities from other times, visiting archaeological and museum spaces. The main objective of this work is to investigate the feasibility of implementing an industrial tourism network in Vila Nova de Gaia (Portugal). It was decided to focus on an aggr…

Tying the successor’s hands or following the neighbor? Diffusion of access to information in Brazilian municipalities
Why do political actors promote public transparency? Studies show that adherence to transparency can be both politically strategic, i.e., to tie the hands of the successor, and a result of observing the adoption of the policy made by other municipalities, i.e., to minimize the cost of information. We test both the political and the informational motivations to explain the adoption of transparency laws with a subnational analysis of the diffusion …
Atar as mãos do sucessor ou seguir o vizinho? Difusão do acesso à informação nos municípios brasileiros
Por que os atores políticos promovem a transparência pública? Estudos mostram que a adesão à transparência pode ser tanto politicamente estratégica, ou seja, para atar as mãos do sucessor, quanto resultado da observação da adoção da política feita por outros municípios, isto é, para minimizar o custo da informação. Testamos as motivações políticas e informacionais para explicar a adoção de leis de transparência com uma análise subnacional da difu…
Ministerial Typology and Political Appointments
Does ministry type influence profiles in upper-level bureaucracy? To govern, presidents need to 01. maintain control over the content of public policies, 02. make political concessions that earn them enough parliamentary support to see those policies approved, and 03. build or keep in place the bureaucratic competencies necessary to implement them. We argue that the president makes key appointments according to the nature of the policies of each …
Transparency, corruption, and mismanagement
Artigo Compromisso institucional com a transparência pública tem relação negativa com corrupção e má gestão governamental? A instituição de Lei de Acesso à Informação (LAI) reduz o custo de acesso à informação pública e o controle dos governantes sobre ela, possibilitando o monitoramento do governo. Assim, maior transparência melhoraria a performance governamental. Para testar a hipótese, usamos modelos de regressão linear para 320 municípios bra…

A politização dos desastres naturais
Qual a relação entre o alinhamento partidário e a alocação de reconhecimento e recursos federais emergenciais para os municípios brasileiros? Propomos que, mesmo sendo os desastres dados pela natureza, a política importa para o reconhecimento federal e o valor em transferências recebido. O argumento é que o governo beneficiará os prefeitos alinhados, reconhecendo as declarações de emergência e alocando mais recursos para os municípios do mesmo pa…
Quais POLÍTicas Importam? Usando ênfases na agenda legislativa para mensurar saliência
Quais são os temas mais enfatizados na agenda legislativa brasileira? Esse trabalho explora as ênfases temáticas com base na classificação das proposições legislativas na Câmara dos Deputados entre 1995 e 2014. O objetivo é apresentar uma classificação específica e compreensiva para identificar as diferenças de ênfases e descrever quais são os temas mais priorizados, por quem e como variam no tempo. Apresento uma classificação em tópicos da agend…
Measuring portfolio salience using the Bradley–Terry model
How do political actors value different portfolios? We propose a new approach to measuring portfolio salience by analysing paired comparisons using the Bradley–Terry model. Paired-comparison data are easy to collect using surveys that are user-friendly, rapid, and inexpensive. We implement the approach with serving legislators in Brazil, a particularly difficult case to assess portfolio salience due to the large number of cabinet positions. Our e…
Ideology and Immigration Patterns in European Union (1988–2015)
Introduction: The theory points out to the existence of likely links between party ideology and migratory policies, stating that, in principle, values associated with the right, based on nationalism, tend to, restrict immigration dynamics more than those linked to the axiology of the left, anchored in universalism. Does party ideology affect immigration patterns in the European Union? This paper tests the hypothesis that the greater the values in…
Who Gets what and how Does it Matter? Importance-Weighted Portfolio Allocation and Coalition Support in Brazil
Who gets what in portfolio allocation, and how does it matter to coalition partners’ legislative support in presidential systems? I propose that portfolios are not all alike, and that their allocation as well as the support for the president's agenda depends on the particular distribution of assets within the executive. The portfolio share allocated to coalition parties is weighted by a measure of importance based on the assets controlled by the …
Taking Portfolios Difference Seriously
Portfolio allocation is the keystone of coalition government analysis. It constitutes the fundamental payoff in coalition formation, providing access to government decision-making. However, are all portfolios the same or have the same weight in government decision-making? This research note presents a measure of portfolio differences based on three dimensions: policy, office, and budget. Factor analysis is used to generate a composite indicator o…

Watchdogs in Our Midst
When delegating governing tasks to a coalition partner, the president would like to give a minister ample administrative powers to be able to effectively accomplish the political mission. Due to information asymmetries, the president runs the risk that this discretion might be used to pursue policy outcomes that may harm the president's preferences. This trade-off between delegation and control is key to understanding governance strategies the pr…

When is statistical significance not significant
The article provides a non-technical introduction to the p value statistics. Its main purpose is to help researchers make sense of the appropriate role of the p value statistics in empirical political science research. On methodological grounds, we use replication, simulations and observational data to show when statistical significance is not significant. We argue that: (1) scholars must always graphically analyze their data before interpreting …

Independence after Delegation? Presidential Calculus and Political Interference in Brazilian Regulatory Agencies
Is there Executive interference in the regulatory agencies after its formal establishment as independent bodies? Under what conditions the Executive chooses to interfere in the agencies? This paper analyses the degree of interference in Brazilian national regulatory agencies and provide a tentative explanation for the variation in the degree of interference. The basic hypotheses is that credibility costs, the degree of formal independence and the…
