| Resumo: | Following the argument that the likelihood of observing expansive fiscal policy increases under left-wing governments whereas right-wing ones tend to enforce restrictive fiscal policies, this article examines the relationship between ideological positions in Latin American parliamentary elites and fiscal policy, concentrating on the Left-Right continuum. The multiple correspondence analysis of 99 legislatures and 18 countries between 1994 and 2019 shows that Left-Right semantics do not determine stances on fiscal policy. Our findings confirm that regardless of ideological orientation, controlling tax evasion is considered a fiscal reform priority. |
