 abstract = {Since the return to democracy, Uruguayan presidents have built cabinets of varying
      natures (majority and minority coalitions, majority and minority parties). Most studies
      on presidential government assume that the partisan composition of a cabinet is a
      good predictor of the performance of a government’s legislative program. In this paper
      I test this hypothesis using Cox and McCubbins’ (1993, 2005) party cartel theory.
      The results confirm that six of the eight presidential cabinets’ legislative performances
      were consistent with theoretical expectations, while two were deviant cases. This
      article also provides a theoretical explanation for these two outliers, highlighting
      the importance of legislative parties, the presidential style of government, and preferences
      as regards legislative initiative.Desde el retorno a la democracia, los presidentes uruguayos han formado gabinetes
      de diferente naturaleza (coalición mayoritaria, coalición minoritaria, partido mayoritario
      y partido minoritario). La mayoría de los estudios del gobierno presidencial asumen
      que la composición partidaria del gabinete es un buen indicador para predecir qué
      sucederá con el programa legislativo del gobierno. En este trabajo se controla esta
      hipótesis a partir de la teoría del party-cartel de Cox y McCubbins (1993, 2005).
      Los resultados del análisis empírico confirman que seis de los ocho gabinetes presentan
      un desempeño legislativo ajustado a las expectativas teóricas. El resto del artículo
      brinda una explicación teórica sobre lo ocurrido con los casos desviados, destacando
      la importancia de los partidos legislativos, del estilo presidencial de gobierno y
      de las preferencias de sus iniciativas legislativas.},
