Artigo Electoral success and political institutionalization in the federal deputy elections in Brazil (1998, 2002 and 2006)(2010) Bolognesi, Bruno; Perissinotto, Renato M. (Renato Monseff); Tribunal Superior EleitoralIt identifies the variables with the greatest impact on the chances of electoral success for candidates for the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies in the 1998, 2002 and 2006 elections. Based upon data provided by the Supreme Electoral Court, this article firstly analyzes the relations between occupation, gender and level of education, on the one hand, and the electoral results (those elected and not elected), on the other. The article then presents a model of logistic regression in order to measure the real impact of these variables on the candidates chances of electoral success. The same procedure was repeated for the right, center and left-wing parties. We conclude that being a professional politician is the most important variable in determining the electoral success of a Federal Deputy candidate in Brazil, in the elections that were analyzed.Artigo Does size matter? Electoral performance of small parties in Brazil(2016) Nascimento, Willber da Silva; Silva Júnior, José Alexandre da; Paranhos, Ranulfo; Silva, Denisson; Figueiredo Filho, Dalson BrittoWhat is the impact of small parties on electoral outcomes? This articles aims at contributing to the literature on party systems by proposing a new method to classify political parties. The methodology is applied to Brazil by focusing on the description of the election results of small parties. Cluster analysis is employed to classify political party size based on their percentage of votes in the Brazilian states. The main findings indicate that classifying parties through cluster analysis is more objective than previous classifications. As a result of this method, the article shows that small parties exert little effect on electoral volatility in Brazil as well as small parties benefit less from the disproportionality between votes and seats than the larger ones.
