Explicamos por qué los candidatos gastan de distinta forma sus fondos de campaña. Usamos información de los 54.276 ítems de gasto electoral reportados ante el Servicio Electoral por 2.390 candidatos a alcalde en las 345 comunas en 2008 y 2012. Con características sociodemográficas de las comunas, militancia, condición de incumbencia y género de los candidatos, evaluamos y explicamos las diferencias en los tipos de gasto. Contrario a lo que sugiere la literatura, los incumbentes chilenos gastan más en propaganda que los desafiantes. Aunque dedican más dinero a propaganda que los de la Concertación, los candidatos de derecha, en particular de la UDI, dedican un porcentaje menor de su gasto a propaganda. Las mujeres gastan más que los hombres y destinan un porcentaje menor a propaganda. Los candidatos en comunas con más ruralidad y mayor pobreza gastan menos en propaganda y más en desplazamientos y servicios. En comunas con más escolaridad, los candidatos gastan más en servicios.2016text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=5971747(Revista) ISSN 0718-9389Revista chilena de derecho y ciencia política, ISSN 0718-9389, Vol. 7, Nº. 3, 2016spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
