El gasto en campaña es una variable central a la hora de evaluar su éxito, por lo tanto, la forma en que se mide influye en las conclusiones a las que se llega con respecto a su efecto en los resultados de una elección. En este artículo se utiliza el caso chileno (específicamente, las elecciones de 2005 y 2009) para analizar los dos métodos más comunes de medir el gasto en campaña y proponer un tercero que estima de mejor forma sus efectos. Esta contribución metodológica complementa y refina el conocimiento que ya se poseía sobre la forma en que el gasto afecta los resultados electorales, a la vez que abre una línea de investigación que permite evaluar otros aspectos de la dinámica que relaciona el gasto en campañas con el desempeño electoral. Sugerimos que el camino a seguir se centre en la fiscalización del gasto efectivo y no en reducir los límites al gasto reportado.Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales2015-05-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/rmcpys/article/view/5206810.1016/S0185-1918(15)30021-0Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales; Vol. 60 No. 225 (2015): Dossier: Teoría social y teoría política: entre los clásicos y el presenteRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales; Vol. 60 Núm. 225 (2015): Dossier: Teoría social y teoría política: entre los clásicos y el presenteRevista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales; Vol. 60 No. 225 (2015): Dossier: Teoría social y teoría política: entre los clásicos y el presente2448-492X0185-1918reponame:Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Políticas y Socialesinstname:UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AUTÓNOMA DE MÉXICOinstacron:UNAMspahttps://www.revistas.unam.mx/index.php/rmcpys/article/view/52068/46944info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/520682024-08-16T19:53:56Z |

The debate on money invested in campaigns and its impact on election results has called into question matters such as the quality of democracy and the efficiency of the elections as a mechanism of citizen control. Campaign financing is a central variable when evaluating its success; therefore, the manner in which it is measured affects the conclusions reached regarding its effects on the results of an election. This article focuses on the Chilean case (more specifically the elections of 2005 and 2009) to analyze the two most common methods to measure campaign spending and suggest as well a third method to better estimate its effects. This methodological contribution complements and refines the current knowledge on the manner in which the expenditure during a campaign affects the election results, while opening a new line of investigation that allows the assessment of other aspects in the dynamic that links campaign financing with electoral performance. We suggest that the way to proceed shall focus on the financial inspection of the actual expenditure without reducing the limits to the expenditure reported. |
