Abstract

Using a panel data with fixed effect for the period 1993-2004, we aim at ascertaining whether the participation of public expenditure categories in total public spending of Argentine provinces was influenced by economic, fiscal and politico-institutional variables, such as provinces’ political sign; possibility of reelection of the executive branch; provisions limiting public spending, public debt, or restrictions to the use of credit; and the structure of the legislative bodies. While estimated coefficients for fiscal effort, financial sufficiency, and public debt were significantly different from zero, results fell short of being conclusive for the other variables, except for categorical variables standing for limits on spending and credit use./ El análisis econométrico realizado , en el marco de un modelo de datos de panel con efectos fijos, para el período 1993-2004,tuvo el objetivo de determiner si la participación de diversas categorías de gasto público en el gasto público total de las provincias argentinas estuvo influida por variables económicas, fiscales y politico institucionales tales como la posibilidad de reelección, normas que limitan el gasto público o el endeudamiento o que condicionan el uso del crédito. Mientras que los coeficientes de regression estimados para el esfuerzo fiscal, la suficiencia financiera y la deuda pública fueron significativamente diferentes de cero, los resultados distaron de ser satisfactorios en el resto de los casos, salvo por las variables que representaban límites impuestos sobre el aumento del gasto o el uso del crédito público.
