Abstract

Las finanzas del sector público colombiano mostraron déficits durante prácticamente todos los años del período 1980-1996. Este resultado no debe sorprender si se compara con la evolución fiscal de otros países de la región o del continente europeo en el mismo período, que también fue deficitaria.
