been effective. Focusing on the short-term goal of export growth, we examine whether AfT from the US government promoted exports within recipient national economies over the period 1999–2008. Our results suggest that a $1 dollar
increase in total US AfT has been associated with about a $69 increase in recipient exports 2 years later. We also show
that the export effect of US AfT has not been confined to the US market and is driven primarily by exports to the rest of
the world. In addition, we show that US AfT has been effective in reaching more needy countries as the substantive effect
of US aid for trade has been larger in lesser-developed, landlocked, and more distant recipient countries.

Sin embargo, hay todavía poca evidencia empírica sobre la capacidad que tienen los partidos políticos para atraer a electores ideológicamente próximos y en qué medida pierden el voto de ciudadanos que, siendo cercanos en sus posiciones izquierda-derecha, optan por otra fuerza política. Combinando datos de opinión pública y de partidos políticos de trece países latinoamericanos, este trabajo explora a través de dos índices en qué medida la ideología es útil para estructurar sus electorados y hasta qué punto los vínculos ideológicos se transforman en votos.

Los resultados muestran que la edad del partido, su posición en el gobierno y su grado de radicalismo tienen efectos positivos en el grado en que la congruencia ideológica se convierte en voto para el partido. Asimismo, encontramos que aquellos partidos que aumentan su proporción de votos entre dos periodos electorales lo hacen arrastrando votantes próximos ideológicamente.

Para tal efecto especificamos modelos Probit Mutinomiales Mixtos, a partir de los cuales encontramos que la cercanía ideológica tuvo un efecto relevante en dichas elecciones. La distancia entre votantes y candidatos afectó de manera diferente a estos últimos, dependiendo del contexto partidista en que competían.
ABSTRACT: In this article we test the theory of proximity voting in the most recent presidential elections of three Central American countries: Costa Rica, El Salvador and Honduras. For this purpose, we specified Mixed Mutinomial Probit models and found that ideological proximity had a relevant effect on voters’ choices. Moreover, the ideological distance between those citizens and the candidates affected the latter differently, depending on the partisan context in which they were competing.
