The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost every country in the world, with more than 185 million cases and over 4 million deaths worldwide as of July 2021. These cumulative case and death counts reflect only a part of the overall impact. The pandemic has underscored the need to reduce inequalities and vulnerabilities, foster democratic governance and political participation, and ensure ef…
This project maintains the general theme of subnational politics from the previous FAPESP grant. It advances these themes by adding new objectives and new methodological approaches. The novelty focuses on party brokers (local electoral intermediaries) and their effect on party electoral performance. The research will identify brokers in different ways. We measure the effects of their acti…
The aim of this project is to determine whether and how subnational fiscal policy choices are interdependent across space and time. Joining research on political budget cycles and economic policy diffusion, the project develops two alternative arguments to explain subnational fiscal policy interdependence. One argument explains how subnational governments learn which fiscal policy choices…

Beyond the expectations of theories such as those of Piketty (PIKETTY; SAEZ, 2007) and Schiedel (SCHEIDEL, 2017), the growing dissemination of basic income policies or eventual progressive tax reforms that result from the fiscal challenges arising f…

First, few systematic studies have…
The congruence between enacted policy and voters' preferences is a central measure of a well-functioning democratic government. This research analyzes policy congruence over time. This project contributes to this research body in two ways. First, this project focuses on analyses that consider the dynamics of preferences and policies over time. We argue that the memory of these phenomena i…
In political science, there are an important group of studies that have studied the budget process in Brazil (Ames, 2001; Pereira and Muller, 2002; Figueiredo and Limongi, 2008). This project aims to advance these studies by analyzing the amendments proposed by state delegations, a subject hitherto unexplored by the research in this area. To examine these amendments, this project will adv…

Brazil has a regressive tax system and a high concentration of low-income voters (Gobetti and Orair, 2016). Low-income voters pay proportionally more on taxes than high-income voters. In spite of the relevance of understanding how voters from different income groups evaluate changes on specific taxes, there are no studies assessing whether governments are responsive to voters on this issu…
