Determinantes da participação dos municípios brasileiros em consórcios públicos: um olhar a partir da lente teórica da Ação Coletiva Institucional

Abstract

This dissertation sought to examine the effect that the economic, demographic, geographic and political-institutional characteristics of Brazilian municipalities have on their probabilities of participation in public inter-municipal consortia, in the most diverse areas of activity, based on the theory of Institutional Collective Action (ICA). For that, it used a binary response Logistic Regression model. The explained variable, which is dichotomous and indicates whether the municipality participates in a consortium or not, was obtained from the Observatório Municipalista de Consórcios Públicos, of the Confederação Nacional de Municípios (CNM), with data for 2020. The results indicate that part of the variables that characterize Brazilian cities influence the decision to participate in consortia and, although some aspects of the municipalities are consistent and in accordance with the literature linked to the ACI regarding this impact, it is noted that for different areas of activity that are evaluated for the consortia some variables have different responses.
