“…Albeit Kotido is the richest district, it lags behind as remarked by the number of families not having access to safe water. These economic, demographic and institutional aspects reflect complex socio‐political settings that produce territorial bias in allocating public goods (Rodrigues‐Silveira, 2019). The water infrastructural gap across the region is a fitting example (WHO & UNICEF, 2012), its inadequacy severely hampering human development.…”

This paper investigates the relationship between women willingness to pay for water access and civic participation as social capital dimension. We use a dataset from a survey in three rural districts of Karamoja, one of the poorest regions of Uganda. Our results suggest that civic participation is not a silver bullet to empower women in rural areas; rather, its effect depends on both context and type of participation. In particular, participation in religious activities has a positive role, but only if it is strictly anchored to the progress of society in terms of gender equality improvement.

“…Em decorrência disso, é crescente o volume de trabalhos empíricos sobre provisão local de políticas públicas, com parcela considerável apontando a grande variação existente no nível subnacional (Giraudy & Pribble, 2020;Niedzwiecki, 2018;Wampler, Sugiyama, & Touchton, 2019). As principais explicações para esses resultados envolvem o desenho institucional (Rogers, 2021), o nível de capacidade estatal (Ziblatt, 2008) e a reprodução de desigualdades econômicas regionais (Rodrigues-Silveira, 2019).…”

Resumo Municípios partidariamente alinhados com o presidente ofertam mais políticas públicas? A entrega de serviços públicos é uma das atividades centrais dos governos. Uma vez que são os partidos políticos que controlam o Poder Executivo tanto no Governo Federal quanto no governo local, é razoável esperar que seus interesses partidários e eleitorais influenciem o curso da implementação de serviços. Neste artigo, analiso a cobertura da atenção básica à saúde como indicador de oferta. Dado o forte compartilhamento de responsabilidades entre os entes federados, argumento que o Governo Federal implementa políticas públicas de forma estratégica, aumentando a oferta de serviços em municípios partidariamente alinhados. Para testar empiricamente essa relação, estimo o efeito causal do alinhamento por meio de um desenho de regressão descontínua para eleições acirradas. Os resultados indicam que os municípios partidariamente alinhados com a Presidência da República têm cobertura da atenção básica à saúde, em média, 3% maior que outros governados por partidos oposicionistas. Em uma cidade com 10 mil habitantes, por exemplo, isso significaria 300 pessoas a mais sendo adequadamente atendidas por equipes de saúde.

“…As a result, the volume of empirical work on the local provision of public policies is on the increase, with a considerable portion highlighting the large variation that exists at the subnational level (Giraudy & Pribble, 2020;Niedzwiecki, 2018;Wampler, Sugiyama, & Touchton, 2019). The principal explanations for these results involve institutional design (Rogers, 2021), the extent of state capacity (Ziblatt, 2008) and the reproduction of regional economic inequalities (Rodrigues-Silveira, 2019).…”

Partisan alignment and public policies provision in Brazil

This research examines whether local governments politically aligned with the president’s party offer more public policies. The delivery of public services is one of the central activities of governments. Since the political parties control the executive branch in both federal and local government, it is reasonable to expect that their partisan and electoral interests will influence policy implementation. This study analyzes the coverage of primary healthcare as an indicator of policy delivery. Given the strong sharing of responsibilities among federated entities, I argue that the federal government implements public policies strategically, increasing the supply of services in partisan-aligned municipalities. To empirically test this relationship, I estimate the causal effect of alignment using a regression-discontinuity design for close elections. The results indicate that partisan-aligned municipalities have, on average, 3% higher coverage of primary healthcare than others governed by opposition parties. In a city with 10,000 inhabitants, for example, this would mean 300 more people receiving healthcare.
