RESUMO

What is the impact of campaign spending in Brazilian elections? The effects of money in elections have been received great attention of students interested to discover not only the impact of spending on campaign success, but also on the representatives behavior. Many studies argue that campaign spending and private contributions produce serious problems to the elections; others stress the importance of spending as a device to expand democracy by allowing greater involvement of society through financial support to candidates and parties. However, few studies explore, in comparative way, the effects of campaign spending between districts throughout the country. This research is devoted to this gap in the legislative studies. For this purpose, the analysis presented here goes through the campaign accounts of candidates for Congress in 2002 and 2006, identifying what is the effect of spending campaign in every state. Among the main results, the impact of money emerged as diversified phenomenon for the success of candidates across the country. In the end, this study uses multilevel analysis for answer what causes contributions between candidates, parties and states. The results, though preliminary, suggest that the parties and the civic culture of voters must be considered in debate on the importance of money in elections.
