Artigo Corporate dependence in Brazil's 2010 elections for federal deputy(2016) Mancuso, Wagner Pralon; Figueiredo Filho, Dalson Britto; Speck, Bruno Wilhelm; Silva, Lucas Emanuel Oliveira; Rocha, Enivaldo Carvalho da; Tribunal Superior EleitoralIt 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.Artigo A study on the impact of campaign finance, political capital and gender on electoral performance(2014) Speck, Bruno Wilhelm; Mancuso, Wagner Pralon; Tribunal Superior EleitoralThis article analyzes the association between political finance and electoral performance in the 2010 Brazilian elections for state and federal deputies. It also investigates the interaction effect of incumbency and gender on this association. We conclude: (i) there is a positive and statistically significant association between political finance and electoral performance, yet the intensity of this association varies according to the type of candidate; (ii) the association is stronger for challengers than for incumbents - thus extending the Jacobson effect to the Brazilian case; and (iii) the association is stronger for women than for men - which suggests an extension of the idea underlying the Jacobson effect. The association between finance and electoral performance tends to be stronger for candidates facing electoral disadvantages, whether these stem from limited political capital, gender discrimination, or any other factor not studied here resulting in a similar effect. Political finance works as a tool that, to some extent, may counteract the negative effect of such factors on electoral performance.
