Resumo(s)
This paper contributes to the literature on the explanations for the often observed
phenomenon of the electoral success of corrupt politicians. It focuses on the particular
case of the Portuguese municipality of Oeiras, where Isaltino Morais was elected as
mayor after being convicted for corruption-related crimes. We collected data on 557
residents of the municipality. Data were collected four weeks after the October 2017
election. We find no evidence for the ignorant voter explanation but strong support for
the implicit trading theory.
