Abstract

Este articulo contiene una revisión de la literatura empírica que contrasta el vínculo entre apertura externa y tamaño del sector público. En teoría, la hipótesis de compensación (Rodrik, 1996,1998) postula una relación positiva para el vinculo. En la práctica, los abundantes trabajos acumulados en los últimos diez años muestran resultados heterogéneos. La técnica de meta-análisis nos permite identificar factores (método de estimación econométrico, medida del sector público y área geográfica de referencia) que explican esa divergencia.
