| Popis: | Is electoral support related to the quality of public goods provision? Does the dictum to deliver votes to the federal center harm local governance, or do better outcomes result in better opportunities to improve quality of governance? Our research contributes to the existing literature in the following ways: 1) we explore the variety of governance patterns on the understudied level of Russian municipalities, using the dataset of local statistical indicators for all municipalities starting from 2012 to 2018; 2) we estimate the effects of budget autonomy and electoral loyalty at the federal elections on public goods provision; 3) we explore whether elected heads provide local services. Our findings suggest that electoral loyalty does not uniformly improve public goods provision in municipalities, while elected heads also have limited capacity to provide better services. |
