Abstract

Resumen. Este artículo tiene como objetivo central describir y aplicar una metodología para estimar la tasa de descuento en proyectos de largo plazo para Colombia, como son los proyectos relacionados con la conservación ambiental y el cambio climático global. La metodología aplicada es conocida como el descuento gamma. Para la aplicación de este método se realizó una encuesta a 120 economistas de Colombia, de esta forma se obtuvo una tasa descuento mucho menor que la tasa social de descuento usualmente utilizada en la evaluación económica de proyectos de largo plazo en el país. Adicionalmente, las estimaciones realizadas permiten verificar la declinación en el tiempo de dicha tasa de descuento.
