Abstract

En este trabajo se presenta una revisión de las principales teorías sobre el descuento social, la preferencia temporal y el coste de oportunidad del capital, cuyos resultados empíricos suelen arrojar diferencias significativas. Sin embargo, se muestra que no se trata de dos enfoques alternativos sino complementarios, pues la forma correcta de actualizar los flujos de un proyecto social consiste en combinarlos. Para ello es necesario disponer de estimaciones de la tasa de preferencia temporal, del coste de oportunidad del capital, del precio sombra del capital y de los efectos que el proyecto provoca sobre el consumo y la inversión privados. El procedimiento correcto para llevar a cabo dichas estimaciones también es objeto de análisis. Classification-JEL : H43
