Abstract

Este artículo tiene como objetivo realizar un análisis del debate teórico que se ha generado alrededor de la determinación de la tasa social de descuento utilizada en la evaluación de proyectos con impactos ambientales de largo plazo. Así, describe la evolución del debate y se revisa teóricamente el concepto del descuento y su papel en los modelos de crecimiento económico y maximización del bienestar social. Igualmente, se analizan los diversas críticas planteadas al enfoque tradicional de determinación del descuento utilizado en el análisis costo-beneficio y se estudian tres de las principales propuestas alternativas para la determinación de la tasa de descuento largo plazo. A partir de la evidencia empírica, planteada por diversos estudios que favorecen el uso de tasas de descuento bajas, se concluye que la tasa social de descuento utilizada para evaluar proyectos con impacto en el largo plazo debe ser una tasa declinante en el tiempo y no una tasa de descuento constante.
