Resumo: A concern in the Brazilian Northeast, where low fiscal capacity and frequent droughts create budgetary imbalances. This raises an important question:
i. How do natural disasters impact revenue collection and public spending, and their respective composition?
ii. Do these disasters trigger the flypaper phenomenon due to increased federal transfers to municipalities for disaster management?
iii. Also, do climate-related disasters contribute to rising corruption in this region?
Palavras-chave: Climate change, Fiscal policy, corruption, disaster management
