Turnout and Invalid Voting in Brazilian Municipal Elections
This paper assesses the impact of Brazil's hybrid mayoral voting system on voters' choices and examines the shift in blank, null, and turnout between the first and second rounds. Using fixed‐effects and RDD techniques over 5570 municipalities between 2000 and 2020, this study shows that runoff voting generates more abstention and invalid voting than one‐round voting. The restriction of choices in the second round is found to be the main reason to…
An Empirical Analysis of Invalid Voting in Municipal Elections
This paper examines blank and null voting in Brazilian mayoral elections using a large dataset covering 5570 municipalities between 2000 and 2020. The study finds that more competitive elections reduce blank and null percentages, with re‐election scenarios leading to more valid votes. Blank and particularly null voting are found to be more prevalent in municipalities where a second round is possible. Economic factors and age categories also contr…
Lockdowns, vaccines, and the economy
This paper analyses the economic confidence indicators' reaction to the environment surrounding the COVID‐19 pandemic. Using Eurostat's monthly data for the economic sentiment in European Union countries, we found that, in the COVID‐19 era, confidence and perceptions about the economy are strongly dominated by factors related to the pandemic, more so by policy measures and the vaccination process than by the direct health impact of the coronaviru…
Cultural and Linguistic Adaptation of the Fall Risk Questionnaire—Portuguese Version
Falls are a major problem among older adults worldwide. Early detection of risk factors is important to decrease the burden of falls. The “Fall Risk Questionnaire” (FRQ) is a screening tool used to assess personal fall risk awareness in older populations, and it is also used as a behavior change tool. The aim of the present study was to undertake a cultural and linguistic adaptation of the FRQ to allow its use in the Portuguese population. To ach…
Estimating ideal points from UN General Assembly sponsorship data
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) represents a microcosm of global politics that offers a valuable snapshot of interstate relations and state preferences. In this context, roll-call votes and measures of voting affinity often receive the bulk of scholarly attention. However, even though techniques such as ideal point estimation have grown more sophisticated over time when applied to voting data, they remain grounded by an original select…
Does the Before Influence the After? Career Paths, Nominations, and Votes of the STF Justices
Do previous trajectories of Federal Supreme Court justices influence their votes in court? Despite recent advances in research on judicial behavior, questions remain about the factors influencing the decisions of STF justices. Building a new typology of these justices’ career paths, this article tests the hypothesis that professional characteristics influenced the judicial behavior of the justices judging the Ação Penal 470, a criminal case known…
Calles elevadas abandonadas
Entre los dispositivos espaciales de los conjuntos de vivienda colectiva de la Corporación de Mejoramiento Urbano (CORMU) -años setenta del siglo pasado en Chile-, están las calles elevadas peatonales diseñadas para conectar edificios y acoger la experiencia comunitaria. Esta red, en la mayoría de los casos se encuentra en deterioro, abandonada o inhabilitada por la población que teme ser víctima de la delincuencia en esos lugares. Si bien la teo…
Economic liberalization, political regimes and ideology
This paper assesses how economic freedom is affected by the ideological stance, being the first to analyse the role of dictatorial regimes and their ideological orientations. Using annual data for 145 countries over the period 2000‐2017 and a two‐step system GMM estimator, this study finds that democracies do promote more economic freedom than authoritarian regimes, but not in all circumstances The probability that economic liberalization is prom…
The Electoral Dynamics of Human Development
This paper analyses the impact of elections, partisan and political support effects on the dynamics of human development in a panel of 82 countries over the period 1980–2013. A Generalised Method of Moments(GMM) estimator is employed and the results point out to the presence of an electoral cycle in the growth rate of human development. Majority governments also influence it, but no evidence is found regarding partisan effects. The electoral cycl…
