Abstract

Resumen: En este trabajo estamos interesados en establecer los determinantes de la sostenibilidad fiscal, entre ellas si las reglas de gasto, la denominada Ley 617 de 2000 coadyuvó a la promoción de la sostenibilidad de las finanzas públicas en los 125 municipios del departamento de Antioquia (Colombia) en el periodo 2008-2017. Para esto explotamos las heterogeneidades observables entre los 125 municipios de Antioquia en el período 2008-2017; debido a la endogeneidad de variables como deuda y el número de empresas usamos un estimador Hausman y Taylor. Nuestros resultados econométricos son estadísticamente significativos y los coeficientes estimados sugieren que la ley es efectiva en el aumento del ingreso tributario y el gasto de inversión, pero no son concluyentes sobre la efectividad en la disminución del gasto en funcionamiento. Otras variables de características de municipio como el número de empresas y el endeudamiento preexistente son explicativas y predictores del comportamiento de los ingresos tributarios, el gasto en funcionamiento y el gasto de inversión. Abstract: In this work we are interested in establishing the determinants of fiscal sustainability, including if the spending rules, such as Law 617 of 2000 contributed to the promotion of the sustainability of public finances in the 125 municipalities of the department of Antioquia (Colombia) in the period 2008-2017. For this we exploit the observable heterogeneities between the 125 municipalities of Antioquia in the period 2008-2017, due to the endogeneity of variables such as debt and the number of companies we use a Hausman and Taylor estimator. Our econometrics results are statistical significant and the estimated parameters suggest that the law is effective in increasing tax revenue and investment spending, but they are not conclusive about effectiveness in reducing operating expenses; other variables of municipality characteristics such as the number of companies and pre-existing indebtedness are explanatory and predictive of the behavior of tax revenues, operating expenses and investment expenditure. Résumé: Dans ce travail, nous souhaitons établir les déterminants de la viabilité budgétaire pour les 125 villes du département d’Antioquia (Colombie), au cours de la période 2008-2017. Il s’agit de savoir si les normes de la dépense publique, loi 617 de 2000, ont contribué a la viabilité des finances publiques. Pour ce faire, nous exploitons les hétérogénéités observables mais raison de l’endogénéité de variables, telles que la dette et le nombre d’entreprises, nous utilisons un estimateur Hausman et Taylor. Les résultats économétriques sont statistiquement significatifs et les coefficients estimés suggerent que la loi 617 de 2000, est efficace en ce qui concerne la hausse des recettes fiscales et les dépenses d’investissement. Néanmoins, les résultats ne sont pas concluants en ce qui concerne l’efficacité dans la diminution des dépenses de fonctionnement. Les variables de chaque ville telles que le nombre d’entreprises et l’endettement préexistant, expliquent et prédisent le comportement des recettes fiscales, des dépenses de fonctionnement et des dépenses d’investissement.
