  • All you need is political love : assessing the effects of partisan favouritism in Croatia's public procurement
    Grdović Gnip, Ana
    This paper discusses the political donations - public procurement interplay in Croatia. It rests on a unique and comprehensive hand-collected firm-by-tender micro-level dataset that enables the ... assessment of partisan favouritism in procuring goods, services and work by the Croatian government in the 2012–2018 period. Main results show that (i) political donations pay off and a ten percent increase in political donations leads to an increase in public procurement revenues of 5.7%; (ii) political disloyalty, i.e. switching donations from centre-right to centre-left parties or vice versa, does not reimburse; (iii) big firms in Croatia are big enough to bid lower prices and/or contract better terms, such that they don't need favouritism in public procurement awards; and (iv) political contributions ex-post election (2016–2018) increase procurement revenues of donating firms by 27%, and firms connected to the losing party exhibit a drop in procurement revenues of more than 12% compared to the ex-ante elections.
