Abstract

Fiscal policy reflects in good measure the institutional arrangements in effect in a particular historical context, given that it defines where resources are spent and how the state obtains them. Whether on purpose, or through omission, tax and spending structures lead to redistributive dynamics that modify the market allocation of resources. In particular, fiscal pressure and the types of fiscal instruments through which government revenues are obtained have an impact on the levels of inequality in a country. In this sense, it is important to identify these instruments and how they evolve over time in order to discuss long run fiscal transitions. This article presents new evidence for Ecuador. Long run, homogeneous time series are estimated in order to analyze changes in the levels and structure of government revenues of this country. The article concludes by attempting to identify fiscal transitions over the course of the 20th century.
