WHAT: How do candidates spend? An analysis of campaign expenditures of federal representatives from 2002 to 2014 in Brazil
Analyzing how candidates have allocated their financial resources in the elections is important to understand the terms of the political dispute and how Brazilian democracy has evolved. This paper aims to advance the understanding of campaign expenditures by describing electoral expenditures from 2002 to 2014. More specifically, it seeks to describe how electoral spending evolved by region and by party.
