Abstract

En este trabajo se analiza empíricamente la sostenibilidad fiscal en Colombia a través de las técnicas de cointegración. En particular, usando los ingresos tributarios y los gastos primarios del gobierno nacional central para el período 1990Q1 a 2008Q4 (datos reales y ajustados por el ciclo económico), en el documento se examina si las cuentas fiscales del gobierno han sido sostenibles en el sentido fuerte o débil, se establece el tipo de interdependencia que ha existido entre los ingresos y los gastos y se evalúa si han sido simétricos los procesos de ajuste y desajuste fiscal, que usualmente se presentan a los largo de los ciclos económicos. El tema resulta relevante en la actual coyuntura, en la medida que el gobierno ha venido anunciado una postura fiscal moderadamente contracíclica para compensar los efectos de la crisis, con importantes implicaciones sobre su nivel de endeudamiento. La incertidumbre sobre el tiempo que tomará la recuperación económica junto con ciertos hechos fiscales sobrevinientes (caída en las rentas petroleras, expiración del impuesto al patrimonio y los nuevos compromisos de gasto), hacen previsible que el gobierno adelante nuevas reformas en el mediano plazo para ajustar sus finanzas. En ese contexto, la adopción de una regla fiscal bien diseñada sobre las cuentas del gobierno, como la que empieza a estudiar la autoridad fiscal, contribuirá a consolidar la sostenibilidad fiscal del país en el largo plazo.
