Abstract

En este artículo se discute la habilidad de las técnicas econométricas de antecedente, para evaluar el impacto de las tasas retributivas como instrumento para el control de los vertimientos en Colombia. Con este propósito se estima el efecto de las tarifas sobre la contaminación a partir de dos estrategias, que difieren en cuanto al tipo de información que se utiliza como variable de tratamiento. En la primera estimación se emplea un conjunto de datos panel, resultado de la implementación de las tasas retributivas en la jurisdicción de CORNARE durante el periodo 2011-2014. En esta primera evaluación, el precio a la contaminación es la tarifa que cobra la autoridad ambiental. En el segundo caso, la información proviene de una encuesta aplicada a empresas con vertimientos en la ciudad de Bogotá durante el ano 2014. Para este caso, la variable de tratamiento es el precio percibido por los agentes contaminadores. Se encontró que la primera estrategia subestima el efecto de las tarifas, porque no captura el efecto heterogéneo del precio a la contaminación, lo que genera estimadores sesgados e inconsistentes de su impacto.
