Abstract

En este artículo se evidencia el efecto de la política fiscal en la economía de Ecuador, considerando la recesión y expansión entre 2003 y 2013. Para esto se utiliza un MSVAR con el gasto público, ingreso petrolero, impuestos e IAE-NP. Se muestra que el gasto tiene un impacto positivo en la actividad económica, con mayor efecto en tiempos de recesión que en bonanza. El aumento de los impuestos provoca un efecto negativo, con mayor impacto en crisis. El ingreso petrolero genera un efecto positivo permanente en la economía, con mayor efecto en expansión. Se debe considerar que solo el efecto del incremento de los impuestos tiene significancia estadística, resultado consistente con estudios previos de la economía ecuatoriana. ***** This paper provides evidence of the effect of fiscal policy on the Ecuadorian economy in periods of recession and expansion between 2003-2013, using a MSVAR with government spending, oil income, taxes, and an IAE-NP. We show that government spending has a positive impact on economic activity, and there is a greater effect during recessions than there is during expansions. An increase in taxes has a negative effect, and there is a greater effect during times of crisis. Oil income generates a permanent positive impact on the economy, and it has a greater effect during periods of expansion. It should be noted that only the effect of the tax increase is statistically significant: a result that is consistent with previous studies of the Ecuadorian economy.
