Abstract

Resumen: El objetivo de este artículo es probar la presencia del efecto flypaper y del efecto asimetría de reemplazo fiscal en los municipios de Colombia para el periodo 2000-2017. Se consideró un estudio para todas las categorías de municipios y otro solo para los de categoría sexta. Los siguientes datos fueron utilizados: operaciones efectivas de caja, categorización de los municipios e indicadores de población. Debido a las características de los datos, se realizó una estimación econométrica de Prais–Winsten con corrección de autocorrelación AR (1), obteniendo que, para el caso de todos los municipios (1101 en total) no se evidencia el efecto flypaper; no obstante, al analizar los 957 municipios que pertenecen a la categoría sexta (87% del total), se evidencia la presencia del efecto flypaper y el de asimetría de reemplazo fiscal. Abstract: This article was elaborated to test the “flypaper effect” and the asymmetry effect of fiscal replacement in the municipalities of Colombia for the period 2000-2017. It was considered a municipalities analysis for all local government and another for the sixth category municipalities. For the analysis were used: effective cash operations, municipalities categorization, and population estimates. A Prais-Winsten econometric estimate was made with autocorrelation correction AR(1), giving the following results: for all municipalities, 1101 in total, the “flypaper effect” is not evident, however, when analyzing the 957 municipalities that belong to the sixth category (87 % of the total), the “flypaper effect” and the asymmetry effect are evident.
