Previous studies of distributive politics have focused on which types of voters are favored in the allocation of resources. Variations across these empirical studies can be attributed to factors such as the voting system and candidate selection rules, the type of and allocation procedures for resources, the nature of the district's population, and the characteristics of politicians. This paper studies the grant allocation of the Townscape Renaissance Project in Chiayi County. The results show that the influence of Magistrate Ming-Wen Chen outweighed that of legislators. In addition, the villages which were the core-constituencies of Magistrate Chen, of the Legislator Hua-Kuan Chang, and of the legislative election loser Shi-Yong Chen, had higher probabilities to receive the grants. This implies that not all support voters and swing voters are the same. The politician who has local information considers the cost, risk and benefit of pork-barrel buying, and allocates in favor of some groups or local factions with certain characteristics.
