Aspectos do mercado eleitoral brasileiro: análise econométrica do impacto dos gastos de campanha nas eleições para a Câmara e o Senado de 2002

Esta dissertação de mestrado em economia foi motivada por uma questão complexa bastante estudada na literatura de economia política nos dias de hoje: as formas como campanhas políticas afetam votação em uma eleição. estudo procura modelar mercado eleitoral brasileiro para deputados federais senadores. Através de um modelo linear, conclui-se que os gastos em campanha eleitoral são fatores decisivos para eleição de um candidato deputado federal. Após reconhecer que variável que mede os gastos em campanha possui erro de medida (devido ao famoso "caixa dois", por exemplo), além de ser endógena uma vez que candidatos com maiores possibilidades de conseguir votos conseguem mais fontes de financiamento -, modelo foi estimado por variáveis instrumentais. Para senadores, utilizando modelos lineares modelos com variável resposta binaria, verifica-se também importância, ainda que em menor escala, da campanha eleitoral, sendo que um fator mais importante para corrida ao senado parece ser uma percepção priori da qualidade do candidato.

O planejamento estratégico na Marinha do Brasil: o caso das organizações militares prestadoras de serviços

Public Management has been faced with a challenge in improving quality of its services to atendent a citizen each day more concerned and self-conscient of his rights. One of major tools used abroad is strategic planning, although its has been designed for a private sector where the focus is profit its been used in the public sector for improving efficiency. Our focus was the Brazilian Navy, especially the Service-Deliver Military Organization (OMPS),who has been using strategic planning searching for continous improving of internal practices. Strategic planning, originated in Military field, has improved its use in the private sector, especially in United States, after the Second World War when it reached 85% of all american private industry. Some of the concepts and models of strategic planning are reviewed, including some criticism and questioning of its aplicability in the public sector, who, by the way, have serious limitations, like: 1) legal matters (separation of powers); 2) citizen dependency - actions are taken in a vote-profits bases; and 3) burocratic culture, including resistency for changes. Our primary target was to investigated the validity of the strategic planning tool in the Brazilian Navy, searching for define the profile and the comittment of all actors involved in the process, comparing teory and practice. The survey used in the search was individual and anonimous using Likert scale of four options, where each respondent shown his percepetion of the strategic planning used in each of the two investigated organizations All data are shown in the appendices and the results pointed for a non-coerency of the speech and pratice of strategic planning and its models in the analised organizations.

Electoral rules, political competition and fiscal spending: regression discontinuity evidence from brazilian municipalities

We exploit a discontinuity in Brazilian municipal election rules to investigate whether political competition has a causal impact on policy choices. In municipalities with less than 200,000 voters mayors are elected with a plurality of the vote. In municipalities with more than 200,000 voters a run-off election takes place among the top two candidates if neither achieves a majority of the votes. At a first stage, we show that the possibility of runoff increases political competition. At a second stage, we use the discontinuity as a source of exogenous variation to infer causality from political competition to fiscal policy. Our second stage results suggest that political competition induces more investment and less current spending, particularly personnel expenses. Furthermore, the impact of political competition is larger when incumbents can run for reelection, suggesting incentives matter insofar as incumbents can themselves remain in office.

Determinantes do voto para deputado federal: relação entre emendas orçamentárias e desempenho eleitoral

Obter votos é crucial para todo político que se submete a uma eleição. Sendo assim, este trabalho se dedica a investigar variáveis que afetem a votação de deputados federais candidatos a reeleição na Câmara Federal, dando ênfase à relação entre provisão de emendas e desempenho eleitoral. Para verificar a importância das emendas na competição eleitoral, as eleições municipais intermediárias também são exploradas. Os dados utilizados abrangem as eleições e Orçamento Federal do período de 1994 a 2006. Como resultado se verifica que aspectos ligados às características individuais dos deputados têm forte poder explicativo sobre os votos totais obtidos por estes. Adicionalmente, encontra-se evidência de um efeito local das emendas sobre os eleitores e que a relação estabelecida entre deputado e município determina grande parte da votação municipal obtida em uma tentativa de reeleição.

Estrutura de propriedade e teoria da agência: um estudo de empresas brasileiras e seus diferentes tipos de controladores

A estrutura de propriedade anglo-saxônica, e o seu clássico problema de agência, com conflitos entre gestores e acionistas, caracterizados por propriedades pulverizadas, apesar de ser predominante na literatura, não constituí a regra, mas sim a exceção. O Brasil, diferentemente dos Estados Unidos e da Inglaterra, possuí uma estrutura de propriedade concentrada, onde é forte a presença de acionistas majoritários. Nesse caso, o conflito verificado não é entre gestores e acionistas (conflito agente X principal), mas sim entre acionistas majoritários e acionistas minoritários (conflito principal X principal). No mercado de capitais brasileiro, há duas classes de ações, as ordinárias (com direito a voto), e as preferências (sem direito a voto), o que viola a regra existente em muitos países, como nos Estados Unidos, de uma ação, um voto. Sendo assim, em muitos casos, ocorre uma combinação de muito poder com pouca alocação de recursos próprios na empresa. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo estimar a magnitude dos direitos de votos, de fluxo de caixa, e do excesso de votos dos acionistas majoritários (das ações ordinárias) das empresas listadas no índice Bovespa – Ibovespa para os anos de 2009 e 2010 (carteira teórica do terceiro quadrimestre dos respectivos anos), separando-as por setor de atuação e por tipo de acionista majoritário. Para este estudo foi analisada uma amostra de 121 empresas, utilizando a metodologia quanto aos fins (descritiva e explicativa), e quanto aos meios (bibliográfica e documental). A coleta de dados foi feita no sistema Economática e nos IAN’s da CVM. Como resultados a pesquisa corroborou as hipóteses da literatura existente de que a estrutura de capital das empresas brasileiras de capital aberto é concentrada, principalmente no capital acionário (média de 51,95% e mediana de 51,20% em 2009, e 47,16% e 51,70% em 2010), e ocorrendo em vários casos uma distância considerável entre o poder de voto e o poder do fluxo de caixa dos acionistas majoritários (média de 1,10 em 2009 e mediana de 1,24, e 1,07 e 0,98 em 2010). Com isso, também se verifica que o conflito principal X principal é o predominante no Brasil.
