Length of candidate lists and political careers: Quasi-experimental evidence from Brazil
This paper provides causal estimates of the effects of increases in the size of candidate lists on the political careers of newcomers to the political arena.

Are newcomers financially responsible? Evidence from close elections in Brazilian Municipalities
This paper examines how mayors’ political experience impacts fiscal outcomes. Using a regression discontinuity design in highly-contested elections in Brazilian municipalities, we estimate the differences in fiscal performance between newcomers and veteran politicians. We find that municipalities governed by mayors who never won an election before experience a worse budget balance and a substantial increase in public investments. This difference …
