However, few studies have dealt with the public expense of the legislative branch. The goal of this dissertation is to analyze legislative spending of São Paulo cities between 1997-2010, as well as estimate the socioeconomic points for the level of this expense. Thereby, we used the methodology of cluster analysis and linear regression in cross-section of socioeconomic factors of the 645 counties, based on 2010 data. The results suggest that the number of councilors is not clearly relevant factor to explain the legislative municipal spending, pointing out, however, the municipal income as the most significant variable for the occurrence of this sort of expense / O gasto público tem ganhado cada vez mais relevância nas análises econômicas. No entanto, poucos estudos têm tratado do gasto público do Poder Legislativo. O objetivo desta dissertação é analisar os gastos legislativos dos municípios do Estado de São Paulo no período 1997-2010, bem como estimar os fatores socioeconômicos determinantes para o nível deste gasto. Para tanto, utilizou-se a metodologia de análise de cluster e de regressão linear em corte transversal de fatores socioeconômicos dos 645 municípios paulistas, com base nos dados de 2010. Os resultados sugerem que o número de vereadores não constitui fator claramente relevante para explicar o gasto legislativo municipal, apontando, em contrapartida, a renda municipal como a variável mais significativa para a ocorrência deste tipo de dispêndio

How did the Swedish towns compare to the surrounding world during the late Middle Ages concerning town organization and political culture? Previous research has claimed a strong German influence on the Swedish town life, but in this dissertation the Europeanization is being put forward as the explanatory factor for the extensive international similarities that can be identified during the Middle Ages. The towns were part of an international town culture that was highly integrated. Differences between towns are foremost analysed as a result of different local conditions such as population size, social structure and relationship to the town lord. Since preserved sources from all towns of medieval Sweden (including Finland) have been examined in a joint study and been placed in a wider context, the dissertation presents renewed and deepened knowledge about the Swedish towns. The study includes Danish, English and German towns and thus compares regions with each other that rarely have been compared before, and thereby presents new perspectives on each respective area. The aspects of the organization that are being systematically compared are the creation of councils, the number of aldermen and mayors, the rotation of offices and functions of the town lords, bailiffs, councils, mayors and chamberlains. Regarding political culture, it is investigated how the councils expressed their group cohesiveness and power in the town and how they defined the border between themselves and the town population. Furthermore, the expectations the town populations placed on the officials and their perception of their own part in the rule of the town is being examined. Finally, the political interaction between council and town population in different towns is compared and analysed.
