Resumen:
In this paper we examine the impact of campaign contributions on electoral results
in Argentine elections for the period 2007-2013. Using previously unavailable microdata
on private campaign contributions we test several hypothesis concerning the relationship
between contributions, campaign spending and elections. Two questions motivate this investigation.
First, whether the amount and composition of party electoral finance impacts
on the vote share and probability of reelection. Secondly, whether sectoral interest groups
seem to fit to the ideological or lobbystic type. We find that the vote shares of parties is
increasing in the ratio of private (non-corporate) to total campaign contributions.
