1. Programs and Parties: Rethinking Electoral Competition Through Analysis of Brazilian 'Grotões'
The 'salience theory of party competition' moves on from the 'programmatic paradox' imposed by the classic Downsian proximity model and demonstrates that parties compete with each other by means of the emphases they give to certain issues. They do this by leveraging their government programs to shape voter preferences that form an innate component of the ele

2. Three essays on local demand for public services
Local provision of public services has the positive effect of increasing the efficiency because each locality has its idiosyncrasies that determine a particular demand for public services. This dissertation addresses different aspects of the local demand for public goods and services and their relationship with political incentives. The text is divided in

3. Municipalities secession and uncertainty on public goods provision
This paper investigates the causes of municipalities secession in Brazil. The theoretical model proposes that the median voter is not fully informed about the efficiency effect of secession on public good provision and uses the break up decision undertaken by neighbor’s municipalities within the state to account for his voting. Our empirical results confir

4. Quanto vale um político? O uso do valor percebido na escolha do político no processo eleitoral
A realidade das democracias ocidentais contemporâneas, caracterizadas pelo enfraquecimento da identidade partidária e o aumento de aspectos mais singulares como as qualidades pessoais do candidato na orientação da escolha eleitoral, provocou novos comportamentos eleitorais e, conseqüentemente, novos estudos que buscam explicar essas mudanças políticas

5. Mulheres brasileiras em tempo de competição eleitoral: seleção de candidaturas e degraus de acesso aos cargos parlamentares
Candidate selection is a key element in the link between electoral systems and political parties. Selection is necessary for candidates to access elective political office, where Brazilian women are still underrepresented. This article examines Brazilian women's presence in electoral contests, constructing a model to explain the preliminary candidate selecti

6. Competição eleitoral e aversão à adoção de reformas : uma análise à luz da teoria dos jogos
The economic growth depends, among other things, on economic institutions chosen by political agents elected by people. To understand how are chosen economic institutions, first we should understand which factors influence on the decision of the political agents. Therefore, understand how the electoral dispute affect the decision process helps to explain why

7. A importância da lei de responsabilidade fiscal para a valorização da contabilidade pública nas prefeituras municipais da região norte do estado do Paraná / Law of fiscal responsability on public valorization at municipal city hall of region north of Paraná
The Law of Fiscal Responsibility (LFR) has as principle the power to control the balance between prescriptions and expenditures during the period of the electoral of public, municipal, state the managers and federal mandate. For the present work they had been searched the management of 22 municipal cities hall of the region north of the state of the Paraná,

8. Dynamic processes in complex networks / Processos dinamicos em redes complexas
We study the statistical properties of in²uence networks subjected to external perturbations. We consider networks whose nodes have internal states that can assume the values 0 or 1. The internal states can change depending on the state of the neighboring nodes. We let N1 nodes be frozen in the state 1, N0 be frozen in the state 0 and the remaining N nodes

9. MD study of energetics, melting and isomerization of aluminum microclusters
Voter and Chen version of an Embedded Atom Model has been applied to study the locally stable structures, energies, melting, isomerization and growth patterns of small aluminum clusters, Al n, in the size range of n = 2 - 13. Using molecular dynamics and thermal quenching simulations, the global minima and the other locally stable structures have been distin

10. A general creation-annihilation model with absorbing states
A one dimensional non-equilibrium stochastic model is proposed where each site of the lattice is occupied by a particle, which may be of type A or B. The time evolution of the model occurs through three processes: autocatalytic generation of A and B particles and spontaneous conversion A -> B. The two-parameter phase diagram of the model is obtained in one-

11. Some recent developments in models with absorbing states
We describe some of the recent results obtained for models with absorbing states. First, we present the nonequilibrium absorbing-state Potts model and discuss some of the factors that might affect the critical behaviour of such models. In particular we show that in two dimensions the further neighbour interactions might split the voter critical point into tw

12. Prediction equations for balance measured as sway speed by head tracking with eyes open and closed.
OBJECTIVES--To provide prediction equations for balance measured as sway speed, a population of randomly selected subjects was used as a model. METHODS--265 subjects were selected from voter registration rolls in Arizona and Louisiana, USA. For validation these predicted values were compared with observed values obtained from a second population in Californi
