Lealtad o recompensa: efectos electorales de las políticas urbanas implementadas en las villas de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires
Abstract
This research examines how the slum urbanization policies implemented by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires (2016–2019) influenced electoral behavior. Using a quantitative differences-in-differences approach, it compares electoral outcomes in urbanized and non-urbanized neighborhoods with similar characteristics. The findings reveal that the governing coalition Juntos por el Cambio maintained its electoral support in urbanized slums, while it lost significant votes in non-urbanized areas. This suggests that slum urbanization policies can alter traditional voting patterns, favoring the party implementing them.
