Abstract

We evaluate the factors that influence the reported level of pollution and those referred to the compliance with the payment of discharge fees from sources regulated under the Colombia’s Discharge Fee Program. The analysis uses a data set that contains information at plant level and considers individual sources operating under the jurisdiction of the Regional Autonomous Corporation of the Chivor (Corpochivor), for period 2001-2006. The results of the econometric estimations suggest that the report of discharges is affected by the size of the sector to which the source belongs, the level of discharge fee for and enforcement and control actions exerted by the corporation’s authorities on the regulated sources. The estimation for the compliance in the payment of the discharge fee indicates that the actions of enforcement exercised by Corpochivor are not determinants on the individual sources’ compliance decision.// Evaluamos los factores que influyen en las decisiones de informar las cargas contaminantes y aquellos referidos al cumplimiento en el pago de impuestos a vertidos de parte de fuentes reguladas con el Programa de Tasas Retributivas de Colombia (PTRC). El análisis utiliza una base de datos que contiene información de cada fuente individual según la jurisdicción de la Corporación Autónoma Regional del Chivor (Corpochivor), para el periodo 2001-2006. Los resultados de las estimaciones econométricas sugieren que el informe de vertidos es afectado por el tamaño del sector productivo al que pertenece la fuente, la tasa retributiva cobrada para demanda bioquímica de oxígeno y actividades de fiscalización ejercidas por la corporación en las fuentes reguladas. La estimación para el cumplimiento en el pago de la tasa indica que las acciones de fiscalización ejercidas por la Corpochivor no son determinantes en el cumplimiento individual de las fuentes.
