Abstract

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis flypaper in municipal public administration in the state of Ceará. To this end, was built a panel with information on expenditures, revenues, population and constitutional transfers to the 184 municipalities of Ceará between 1999 and 2009. Such information was extracted together with the National Treasury and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The methodology used is referred to the panel data with random effect m odel. The results highlight that the elasticity spending exceeds income-elasticity worn-transfer and, therefore, local governments are exempt from the practice described by flypaper effect.
