SUMMARY:

The intertemporal dilemmas, i.e., problems that demand integrated and often long-term solutions are characteristic of modern societies. However, in democratic societies, elections require short-term responses. The thesis seeks to investigate under what conditions Parliament is able to approve policy investments¸ i.e., measures in which short-term costs are imposed in the expectation of long-term benefits. For that, a case study was carried out on the procedure, in the Chamber of Deputies and in the Federal Senate, of the Constitutional Amendment nº95, of 2016, which established the New Fiscal Regime and the conditions that allowed its approval were verified. Starting from the analytical model, the conditions that allowed the overcoming of short-term informational biases, long-term political uncertainty and the performance of organized interest groups were examined. Among the main findings of the research, there is the favorable institutional scenario, combining a diffuse responsibility for losses, the low risk for electoral survival as a result of supporting the PEC, insofar as it was a complex topic, with low understanding on the part of society, and strong support from the President of the Republic and parliamentary leaders; a public policy framework that was able to defer short-term costs while anticipating some long-term benefits; and a diffuse distribution of costs that made it difficult to mobilize those most affected and, therefore, the action of interest groups turned to the search for sectoral protection. At the same time, the following elements were pointed out that can contribute to the improvement of the model: consider the internal rules of Parliaments that can facilitate the approval of policy investments; the need to consider, in principle, in middle-income countries the dimension of the medium term when discussing the intertemporal cost-benefit matrix of public policy; the policy learning process that can lead to more workable program structures; and, the sharing of a common diagnosis among the state bureaucracy, facilitating the process of convincing decision-makers.
