Abstract

This paper analyzes the relationship among class structure, patterns of social mobility and voting at the Brazilian presidential election of 2006. The analysis aim to discuss and test the hypothesis of assimetrical vote claiming that the correlation between social class and voting is mediated by te patterns of upward and downward intergenerational mobility. Other ancillary hipothesis are also discussed and empirically tested. All statistical estimations are done using bayesian hierarquical models.
