  • Hernando Zuleta

Abstract

Este trabajo describe las relaciones entre el entorno institucional, la economía, la distribución del ingreso y la productividad en Colombia. En particular, existe un problema de diseno institucional que fomenta la informalidad, dificulta la inclusión, inhibe la competitividad y frena el crecimiento. Las fallas de diseno institucional se manifiestan en los problemas asociados al régimen tributario, la administración de justicia, la prestación de servicios por parte del gobierno, la corrupción y la dificultad para crear empresa. A partir de las fallas identificadas se plantean posibles reformas que ayuden a impulsar un cambio institucional que ayude a corregir algunas de los problemas descritos.
