Abstract

Este artículo tiene como objetivo realizar un análisis del debate teórico sobre la determinación de la tasa social de descuento utilizada en la evaluación de proyectos con impactos ambientales de largo plazo. Así, describe la evolución de debate acerca del concepto de descuento de largo plazo y sus implicaciones en términos de equidad intergeneracional. Igualmente, se analizan las críticas planteadas al enfoque tradicional de determinación del descuento y se estudian tres de las principales propuestas alternativas para la determinación de la tasa de descuento a largo plazo. A partir de la evidencia empírica, planteada por diversos estudios que favorecen el uso de tasas de descuento bajas, se concluye que la tasa de descuento utilizada para evaluar proyectos con impacto en el largo plazo debe ser una tasa declinante en el tiempo.
