Abstract

El documento presenta una estimación de la Curva de Laffer para la economía colombiana mediante la realización de un análisis de estática comparativa y un análisis de tipo econométrico. Respecto al primer análisis, partiendo de un modelo microeconómico se analiza el nivel de distorsión que se generaría al establecer un impuesto indirecto y las implicaciones que en materia de bienestar se originarían al maximizar el recaudo tributario en el mercado. Para el segundo análisis, utilizando datos del ingreso tributario real per cápita y la tasa impositiva, se estima un modelo econométrico con el fin de calcular la tasa impositiva de tributación óptima en Colombia. Los resultados muestran el cumplimiento de los postulados de Laffer, con una tasa impositiva óptima del 37% aproximadamente, y sugieren un espacio fiscal del Gobierno de aproximadamente 12 puntos porcentuales.
