| dc.description | Las políticas a menudo tienen costos hoy pero beneficios en el futuro lejano, especialmente el cambio climático y políticas medioambientales. Una dimensión crítica en esta disyuntiva es la edad de los políticos, lo que afecta su esperanza de vida, preocupaciones profesionales y qué educación ellos recibieron. Estudiamos este trade-off en el caso de los alcaldes brasileños yutilizando elecciones reñidas. Encontramos que cuando un político joven es elegido, hay una reducción de la deforestación y de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero sin efectos sobre el PIB municipal. Nuestro estudio de los mecanismos sugiere que los alcaldes jóvenes importan porque pertenecen a una nueva cohorte, no por la edad per se. | |
| dc.description.abstract | Policies often have costs today but benefits far into the future, especially climate change and environmental policies. A critical dimension in this trade-off is politicians’ age, which impacts their life expectancy, career concerns, and what education they receive. We study this trade-off in the case of Brazilian mayors and environmental outcomes, using close elections. We find that when a young politician is elected, there is a reduction in deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions without significant effects on municipal GDP. Our study of mechanisms suggests young mayors matter because they belong to a new cohort, not because of age per se. | |
