O papel das emendas parlamentares nos resultados das eleições para prefeito dos municípios do estado de Pernambuco

Abstract

In the midst of a scenario of frequent political and economic instability, the present article seeks to relate a classical theory of political cycles with a likelihood of reelection or succession to municipalities in Pernambuco municipalities. For this, a methodology employed was fixed data controlled panel, for a more adequate analysis of the possible relationship between variables. In general, the results achieved that political agents manipulate as variations in periods preceding the election of votes, and thus the finished indicators favor those who use resources and investments for their locality. Thus, it was possible to detect the presence of electoral political cycles in the municipalities of Pernambuco, where politicians use the public machine to promote.
