Abstract: Abstract This paper discusses why similar institutional rules (Municipal Plan, Fund, and Council) and intergovernmental transferences) may influence municipal decision-making to participate in inter-municipal consortia differently in two Brazilian federal public policies—health and education. The paper argues that the more institutionalized the national policy design, the higher the probability of the municipalities getting into IMC. Based on quantitative analysis, findings show why the financial dimension is relevant for health policy, the most institutionalized in comparison with education, regarding municipal options for IMC. Similar evidence was not found in both policies considering the effect of their institutional rules.
