The data combine public municipal election records from Brazil and Chile, with the candidate-election as the unit of observation. The analysis compares close electoral outcomes between the last winner and the first loser within the relevant electoral list: coalitions in Brazil and parties in Chile. The main variables identify the election year, running variable, seat-winning status, candidate gender, party ideology or coalition, and whether the candidate reran in a subsequent election. The Brazil data cover municipal elections in 2012, 2016, and 2020, with follow-up through 2024; the Chile data cover municipal elections from 1992 to 2012, with follow-up through 2016.<a href="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0">CC0 1.0</a>brazil_main_clean.tab18317867text/tab-separated-valuesUNF:6:xapItJ8RL46lRUtMu3dWVA==chile_main_clean.tab761336text/tab-separated-valuesUNF:6:0hTAopyApkUyW6IR/YUWPQ==Election year.2012.00.04.37092840069006352018.06784635323132024.02020.01831786.0UNF:6:nJPm8v3jSZ5cBVTajYEycA==Newcomer candidate1831255.01.01.00.6997130383262394.0.00.4583828280595569531.0UNF:6:OMj6VO7O1eJKgjs+NVeLhw==Running variable, Brazil percentage-point scale0.0-0.0027332638897137164-21.794871794871796.188894.01.379444789439157721.7948717948717961642892.0UNF:6:4tIAHYtZHn8k51T5hq7tdw==Party ideology: 0 right, 2 left.0.8418930665508321458184.00.01373602.01.00.81444368128312762.00Right5813242Left3641481Center428130UNF:6:ce71NgS7tDoGPQZ89ZStGQ==Cluster used in accepted manuscript482821.01.058271.0752378592330682.637583941385.62811.01348965.0102327.0UNF:6:lsve+eD5+aWXegZ24BeLxA==Reruns in t+1, original 0/1 scale.1.0431816.01399970.00.484529807385153830.37658592684123520.00.0UNF:6:HFwlDdjSs/EmOmP8TTIRzw==Female candidate0.0.1780436.01.00.051350.00.33636030725057480.4724639418354213UNF:6:oHKEIoATUHQbRACa+Sf+8g==Election year0.02006.56745432335527.7721324384443921992.02016.0.76133.02008.0UNF:6:ZwwzwQNnBqwJ3qsvA+YGBw==Running variable, Chile source units; zero margins adjusted0.4677813947200775.10940.00.05546980999142274-0.467781394720077565193.0-1.7130365373826216E-5-9.999999717180685E-10UNF:6:nocLNmv532+jFpFSJwdGTA==Female candidate2.00.428891352284647530.01.00.00.2429890583336720776131.0.1HOMBRE184992MUJER0UNF:6:/wC9EcYOrOaYQcSIG/KyxA==Reruns in t+1, original 0/1 scale1.00.50191112920810030.4999996313076305.0.00.01.076133.0UNF:6:ZBDUX68pc/BYHeblbWkq5g==Cluster used in accepted manuscript.6091.4531149435923195.0586267558681.011636.06153.00.076133.0UNF:6:I1ftilHUGDF9ETxrD5Ou9Q==Coalition: 1 left, 2 right0.499011301737917972.01.046906.01.5315632805282808.29227.02.02Alianza155361Concertacion por la Democracia13691UNF:6:X7yd2A3vt8vAmzrZUnJgkA==replicate_main_results.dotext/x-stata-syntax
