SANCHEZ MARTINEZ, José Said. Divided Government and Accountability Budget in Mexican States, 2010-2019. Rev. mex. cienc. polít. soc [online]. 2022, vol.67, n.244, pp.497-522.  Epub 17-Abr-2023. ISSN 0185-1918.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.2448492xe.2022.244.72715.

This paper analyzes the budget of three subnational accountability institutions (Guaranteeing Bodies, Audit Institutions, and Internal Control Institutions) and assesses if a divided government has an effect on their budget. To that end, it applies a quantitative analysis with data for the 31 Mexican states for the 2010-2019 period. The results show that with a divided government only the Audit Institutions have more budget than under a unified government.
