Abstract
It identifies factors that help explaining the level of corporate dependence among the candidates. It answers the question in relation to the 2010 elections for federal deputy in Brazil. It tests five hypotheses: 01. right-wing party candidates are more dependent than their counterparts on the
left; 02. government coalition candidates are more dependent than candidates from the opposition; 03. incumbents are more dependent on corporate donations than challengers; 04. businesspeople running as candidates receive more corporate donations than other candidates; and 05. male candidates are more dependent than female candidates. Methodologically, the research design combines both descriptive and multivariate statistics. It uses OLS regression, cluster analysis and the Tobit model. The results show support for hypotheses 01, 03 and 04. There is no empirical support for hypothesis 05. Finally, hypothesis 02 was not only rejected, but we find evidence that candidates from the opposition receive more contributions from the corporate sector.
