文摘

We analyse whether public expenditures are used to channel redistributive outcomes. We adopt a flexible panel error correction model and proceed in two steps. Right-wing governments act redistributive under favourable socioeconomic conditions. Their left-wing counterparts do so under unfavourable conditions. The latter effect is found stronger than the former.
