What is the effect of political competition on subnational social spending? Using descriptive statistics and regression models for original budget panel data for the 24 Argentine provinces between 1993 and 2009, the study finds that social spending increases the more secure governors are electorally and the longer they have been in office. It also finds that other arguments in the literature are relevant in explaining variations on types of spending, such as partisan fragmentation in the districts. The article discusses these findings for the Argentine provinces and explores their implications with regard to the debates on the effects of electoral competition and the design of social policies, especially in developing countries and federal democracies.... view less

¿Cuál es el efecto de la competencia política en el gasto social subnacional? Usando estadísticas descriptivas y modelos de regresión para datos presupuestarios de panel para las 24 provincias argentinas entre 1993 y 2009, el estudio encuentra que el gasto social aumenta cuando la seguridad electoral de los gobernadores crece y cuando tienen más años en el cargo. También se observa que otros argumentos en la literatura son relevantes para explicar las variaciones en los tipos de gasto, como la fragmentación partidaria en los distritos. El artículo discute estos hallazgos para las provincias argentinas y explora sus implicancias en relación a los debates sobre los efectos de la competencia electoral y el diseño de políticas sociales, especialmente en los países en desarrollo y las democracias federales.... view less
