Abstract

La tradición del Federalismo Fiscal ha comprendido la intervención pública desde múltiples ámbitos de gobierno territorial, entre otros, configurando el tamano de su jurisdicción en función de una correspondencia óptima con la eficiencia en la provisión de bienes públicos. Esto supone la dificultad por encontrar un único tamano óptimo cuando -como es el caso de las regiones metropolitanas- se superpone la provisión de múltiples bienes públicos, fragmentando y traslapando jurisdicciones de gobierno. El artículo explora este dilema y lo expone como no resuelto, planteando la necesidad de avanzar en esquemas de tipo gobernanza que superen la rigidez de la jurisdicción. ***** The tradition of Fiscal Federalism has included public intervention from multiple spheres of the territorial government, among others, configuring the size of its jurisdiction according to an optimal correspondence with efficiency in the provision of public goods. This makes it challenging to find a single optimal size when -as in the case in metropolitan regions- the provision of multiple public goods overlaps, fragmenting and overlapping government jurisdictions. The article explores this dilemma and exposes it as an unresolved issue, raising the need to advance in governance-type schemes that overcome the rigidity of the jurisdiction
