Abstract

Este articulo estudia la relacion entre la competencia politica y el desempeño de los gobiernos municipales en Mexico con datos de 1990 a 2015. Los resultados sugieren que a mayor competencia politica se observa una mayor cobertura de agua potable y de drenaje por parte de la poblacion y un mayor ingreso per capita. Un posible mecanismo por el cual se observan estos resultados es que tambien se advierte que a mayor competencia politica se presenta un mayor gasto en inversion publica y un menor gasto corriente como proporcion del gasto total. Sin embargo, este ultimo resultado no se encontro para municipios con poblacion mayor a 15 mil habitantes. En las estimaciones se controlo por la posible endogeneidad entre las variables de desempeño y finanzas publicas y la competencia politica. Es necesario continuar investigando el papel de los gobiernos estatales y municipales en el desarrollo del pais.
