Última Political Selection and the Quality of Government: Evidence from South India AgEcon Besley, Timothy; Pande, Rohini; Rao, Vijayendra. This paper uses household data from India to examine the economic and social status of village politicians, and how individual and village characteristics affect politician behavior while in office. Education increases the chances of selection to public office and reduces the odds that a politician uses political power opportunistically. In contrast, land ownership and political connections enable selection but do not affect politician opportunism. At the village level, changes in the identity of the politically dominant group alters the group allocation of resources but not politician opportunism. Improved information flows in the village, however, reduce opportunism and improve resource allocation.

These analytics suggest that because communities possess informational advantages unavailable to outsiders, community participation offers the prospect of lowering the cost of antipoverty interventions. In cases where the outcomes of interventions are difficult to measure, community participation is attractive because it is more likely to produce a set of outcomes actually desired by the community. However, this... Tipo: Working or Discussion Paper Palavras-chave: Food Security and Poverty.
