1 Poor Voters vs. Poor Places Cesar Zucco Princeton University Oxford, December 2010
2 Outline The electoral shift (2006 Elections) A partial explanation (Bolsa Familia) The lurking pattern Neo-governismo or realignments? What s new?
3 A Puzzling Shift Lula s Vote Share and Level of Development Lula 2002 and before Poor voters don t vote for a poor candidate
4 A Puzzling Shift Lula s Vote Share and Level of Development Lula 2002 and before Lula 2006 and Dilma 2010
5 A simple (and incomplete) explanation The largest CCT in the world Reaches 11-13m families Costs 0.4% GDP 35% say fight against poverty most successful policy 67% approved of poverty reduction policies

15 End of story? Summarizing many hours of research Direct beneficiaries voted massively for Lula (80%) Non beneficiaries voted more for Lula in poorer places Recipients were 40% more likely to vote for Lula than similar non-recipients Direct CCT effects hold accounting for economic growth Possible indirect economic stimulus effect in 2006 No clear evidence of redistribution backlash (Diego?)

23 Defining the Empirical Regularity Neo-Governismo A built in advantage incumbents have in reaching certain places Government party does better in poorer places Does not mean government always wins Does not mean government gets support from poorest voters
24 The observational equivalence problem Two stories compatible with the data Lula Centered Lula was stronger in richer places But mostly among poorer people New in 2006, the rural poor voted for Lula Incumbent Centered Incumbents always perform better in poorer places But not among the poor in the richer places New in 2006 the urban poor voter for the incumbent
25 The observational equivalence problem Two stories compatible with the data Lula Centered Lula was stronger in richer places But mostly among poorer people New in 2006, the rural poor voted for Lula Incumbent Centered Incumbents always perform better in poorer places But not among the poor in the richer places New in 2006 the urban poor voter for the incumbent... And there seems to be two patterns: one across places and another within places
26 Lula and the urban poor Valid Vote for LULA 2002 (Citywide: 58.1 %) Less than 33% 33 47% 47 54% 54 58% 58 63% More than 63% Valid Vote for LULA 2006 (Citywide: 44.5 %) Less than 33% 33 47% 47 54% 54 58% 58 63% More than 63%

33 Thinking About the Neo-Govenismo A few conjectures (and not more than that!) What could be the mechanism? Not ideology Reliance on government State (and only state) delivers benefits What and how it is delivered? Geographical logic of government Not party machines in the peronist sense Cartorialismo revisited
34 Neo-Governismo vs. CCTs 2006 in historical perspective: If incumbents always perform better in poorer places, Lula s voting patterns would have changed between 2002 and 2006 even without Bolsa Familia
35 Neo-Governismo vs. CCTs 2006 in historical perspective: If incumbents always perform better in poorer places, Lula s voting patterns would have changed between 2002 and 2006 even without Bolsa Familia Did Bolsa Familia change things or not? Did Bolsa Familia not have any relevant effect?
36 Neo-Governismo vs. CCTs 2006 in historical perspective: If incumbents always perform better in poorer places, Lula s voting patterns would have changed between 2002 and 2006 even without Bolsa Familia Did Bolsa Familia change things or not? Did Bolsa Familia not have any relevant effect? Back to the data...
37 Poor Voters vs. Poor Places How new is the new policy? Estimated Vote for the Incumbent Among Poor Voters Vote Share fhc.1994 fhc.1998 serra.2002 lula.2006 dilma.2010 HDI M (Poor) Highest (14.7m) High (8.5m) Middle (8.6m) Low (12m) Lowest (10.9m)
38 What s Old, What s New? If the incumbency story holds Bolsa Familia merely magnified the bias in poorer places
39 What s Old, What s New? If the incumbency story holds Bolsa Familia merely magnified the bias in poorer places Bolsa Familia altered voting patterns in the richer places
40 What s Old, What s New? If the incumbency story holds Bolsa Familia merely magnified the bias in poorer places Bolsa Familia altered voting patterns in the richer places Urban poor voted massively for the incumbent (new!) Potentially, many important implications!
41 Some possible implications Conjectures and more conjectures... If government has established a direct channel with urban poor Opposition looses its natural constituency Less reliance on public goods Middle class probably loses out
