Using data of Spanish local governments for the 1999-2007 period (two consecutive terms-of-office), we compare nearly identical municipalities regarding their political characteristics, with the only difference that one is a coalition and the other a majority government. Our findings reveal that the effect of coalition (and neither minority) governments on corruption is not different than in majority ones33 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Puigmulé Solà, 2015http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esCorrupció políticaGovern representatiuEleccions localsTreballs de fi de màsterPolitical corruptionRepresentative government and representationLocal electionsMaster's thesesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
