Abstract

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar de qué manera los instrumentos de política fiscal influyen en el crecimiento y en la desigualdad del ingreso en México. Para lo cual se presentan los antecedentes teóricos y se utiliza un modelo de crecimiento endógeno que incorpora variables fiscales. Asimismo, se estima un modelo econométrico mediante la técnica de datos de panel. Los resultados empíricos muestran que; el gasto corriente no impacta al crecimiento económico; los impuestos directos ejercen un impacto negativo en el crecimiento, mientras que los impuestos indirectos no arrojan resultados significativos en el modelo; el gasto corriente contribuye a reducir la desigualdad; los impuestos directos contribuyen a una reducción de la desigualdad, mientras que los impuestos indirectos contribuyen a aumentarla. La originalidad y principal contribución de este trabajo radica en su enfoque por entidad federativa considerando aspectos redistributivos. La limitante de este tipo de estudios se debe a la escasez los datos fiscales en algunas entidades federativas. Se recomienda considerar otras variables para determinar el causal entre eficiencia y equidad cuando se determinan variables fiscales.
