摘要：
In this study we examine the existence of regional favoritism in districts of Argentina (i.e., political leaders who systematically favor their district of birth). To do this, we build an annual panel of districts that includes records of nighttime luminosity, as a proxy for inequality and economic activity, and the district of birth of each governor between 1992–2013. The estimates arise from a two-way fixed effects model, an event study design and spatial and temporal placebos.
