Abstract

¿Puede la remoción de una élite política subnacional impulsar el desarrollo económico? En este trabajo analizamos esta pregunta a partir de la más reciente intervención federal que tuvo lugar en Argentina (en Santiago del Estero, 2004) y que devino en el fin del gobierno juarista. A partir de una metodología de control sintético, consideramos cuatro resultados de interés: crecimiento económico, desigualdad, transferencias a las provincias y recaudación provincial. Los resultados sugieren que aun cuando, luego de la intervención federal, Santiago del Estero recibió mayores transferencias por habitante esto no resultó en una mejora en el crecimiento ni en la desigualdad. Además, luego de la intervención federal los niveles de competencia política han disminuido en la provincia al surgir otra élite (el zamorismo) que gobierna la provincia desde entonces. Lo anterior sugiere que en un contexto de elevada concentración política la performance económica provincial puede ser persistentemente ineficiente (mayores recursos no se traducen en mejores resultados). Si el objetivo es impulsar el desarrollo económico, no es suficiente con un simple cambio de gobernantes.
