TÍTULO:

Do Politicians Learn from Personal Experience? How Children’s Hospitalizations Shape Mayoral Decisions and Public Health

PALAVRAS-CHAVES:

Essays in Applied Political Economy

PÁGINAS: 59
RESUMO:

We study the effects of electing a mayor whose child had been hospitalized by the election year on policy preferences and local health outcomes. Using a Regression Discontinuity design based on close elections, we find that candidates who had experienced a child’s higher-severity hospitalization, when elected, tend to invest more in public health, leading to improvements in local health outcomes. For lower-severity cases, we find no significant effects. Taken together, the results indicate that impactful life experiences—in this case, a child’s higher-severity hospitalization—can shape political attitudes and local outcomes related to public health.
