Interação espacial nas despesas municipais

Resumo

This work tests for the presence of strategic interaction in municipal spendings motivated by spillover in 2012. To accomplish this goal, the reaction functions of ten spending categories were estimated by generalized spatial two-stage least squares (GS2SLS). The results showed that reaction functions are relevant and positively sloped to nine of ten categories of public services, indicating complementarity relationship between expenditure in neighboring municipalities. With regard to the intensity of the interaction coefficients, higher values seem to be related to greater discretionary power of local government. Thus, it follows that there is more freedom to make changes in expenditures for culture and public safety, due to the sizeable magnitude of the interaction coefficient. On the other hand, expenditure on education, health and public administration are poorly responsive to changes in neighboring municipalities, because of the existence of legal restrictions that limit the power to manipulate these variables. It is argued that the intensity of strategic interaction can be an important vector of induction to the expansion of government expenditure.
