     summary: By comparing the preference patterns for regional policy competences to what we deem would be the objective functional policy allocation, we are able to assess whether or not there is a correlation. The table shows the mean value of the desired number of policies for regional policy competences.

     summary: Instead of higher subsidies leading to better election outcome, one could argue that more subsidies are awarded to regions where incumbent support was rather low in the past. Throughout the four estimations, we find that there is a significant positive relationship between subsidies and the vote share in 2009, meaning that cantons that receive high subsidies the year previous to the elections reward incumbent 9 Including a dummy variable for cantons containing one of the five province capitals does not alter results significantly.

     summary: Corruption alters the composition of government expenditures towards less productive activities and thus the greater the government expenditures the greater the negative effects of corruption (Mauro, 1998, Tanzi and Davoodi, 1998; Gupta et al., 2001). We re-address this issue for a more recent period of the Italian history (1980-2004) characterised by high variability in both growth rates and corruption crimes.

     summary: With respect to plenary voting opposition parties can act in two ways: vote more frequently with the government or against it. However, as plenary votes are mostly a product of opposition activity and opposition parties support their own initiatives, intuitively it should be the case that opposition parties move apart from the government during the last year of an electoral period.

Although many of these differences decrease when controlling variables related to employment status, family and age, some variations still remain, especially regarding the type of social networks, because women tend to connect mainly with the family, while men extend their networks of relationships beyond parental ties.

     summary: Consequently, the behaviour of federal government becomes a crucial issue to determine the effect of unemployment on the achievement of the production efficiency condition in the provision of public inputs. Hence, to replicate the second best outcome for the provision of public inputs is a real possibility when federal government can spend money in public inputs which are complementary to state public inputs.
