- Abstract
Is it possible that public land allocation by the government might be a mechanism to reward voters and, eventually, increase electoral support? The literature suggests that governments use distributive mechanisms to obtain electoral revenues. To analyze this, we assessed the relation between land allocation and elections between 1930 and 1946, when the Liberal Party was consolidated as the main electoral force. We implemented an Ordinary Least Squares model for more than 600 municipalities and the results show that public land allocation did favor the liberal municipalities, although it is not associated with the electoral results of the Liberal Party in the 1946 elections.
