Abstract

Resumen: Este artículo ofrece un primer balance de los estudios en historia fiscal de Colombia sobre siglo XX. Como parte de la metodología se delimita el campo de los estudios en historia fiscal, y se concentra en resultados de investigación publicados desde 1970, cuando el sistema universitario colombiano se expande y consolida, hasta el 2018. En consecuencia, se seleccionan 40 estudios que se caracterizan cuantitativa y cualitativamente en tres grandes aspectos: metodología, autor, y divulgación. De esta manera, se encuentra un ritmo de producción moderado con un estudio por ano, en promedio, desde 1980. La política fiscal ha sido el campo predominante desde el cual se da el encuentro con la perspectiva histórica (46%), seguido por los estudios propiamente en historia fiscal (28%), y los estudios desde el derecho público (12.8%) y la economía política (12.8%). Los enfoques cepalino y el keynesiano, más frecuentemente empleados en los anos 80s y 90s, perdieron presencia a partir del ano 2000 en favor de los enfoques neoclásico y neoinstitucional. El balance general indica un superávit con la emergencia de varios libros de calidad que ofrecen visiones de conjunto, análisis históricos de las décadas de 1920 y 1930, análisis sobre tributación, y la construcción de las principales series estadísticas de las finanzas públicas del Gobierno Nacional Central. También se detecta un déficit de estudios sobre finanzas públicas a nivel regional, en relación con el impacto del manejo fiscal sobre el desarrollo regional y sobre arreglos institucionales y control fiscal. Es deseable que el campo de la historia fiscal se amplíe y profundice a través de la entrada de más investigadores, la exploración de nuevas fuentes documentales y enfoques teóricos para ganar perspectiva histórica no sólo de los fenómenos fiscales, sino también del Estado colombiano durante el siglo XX y su relación con la economía. / Abstract : This article provides a first assessment of the studies on the fiscal history of Colombia of the 20th century. The methodology delimits the field of fiscal studies, and focuses on research results published since 1970, when the Colombian university system expands and strengthens, until 2018. Hence, it selects 40 studies characterized quantitatively and qualitatively in three major aspects: methodology, author, and divulgation. Thus, it finds a moderate production rate in the field with one study per year, on average, since 1980. Fiscal policy has been the predominant field from which the historical perspective is built (46%), followed by proper studies in fiscal history (28%), public law studies (12.8%) and political economy studies (12.8%). The cepalino and Keynesian approaches, most frequently used in the 80s and 90s, reduced their participation since the 2000 thus giving room to the neoclassical and neo-institutional approaches. The overall balance indicates a surplus with the emergence of several quality books that offer general views, historical analyses on the decades of 1920 and 1930, analysis on taxation, and statistical building of main fiscal series of the Central National Government. There is a deficit of studies on public finance at the regional level, regarding the impact of fiscal management on regional development, and institutional arrangements and fiscal control. It is desirable that the field of fiscal history expands and deepens through the entry of more researchers, the exploration of new documentary sources and theoretical approaches to gain historical perspective not only of fiscal phenomena but also of the Colombian state building during the 20th century and its relationship with the economy.
