Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
This paper provides regression discontinuity evidence on development
impacts of intergovernmental transfers. Extra transfers in Brazil
increased local government spending per capita by about 20 percent
over a 4 year period with no evidence of crowding out own revenue or
other revenue sources. Schooling per capita increased by about 7 percent
and literacy rates by about 4 percentage points. In line with the
effect on human capital, the poverty rate was reduced by about 4 percentage
points. Somewhat noisier results also suggest that the reelection
probability of local incumbent parties in the 1988 elections improved
by about 10 percentage points.
