Abstract

En este documento se caracteriza la relación entre el gasto social, sus clasificaciones funcionales y el PIB en la región en el período1980-2008 a través de la estimación de las elasticidades PIB de corto y de largo plazo del gasto social y sus componentes para diez paísesseleccionados de América Latina. Desde el punto de vista del corto plazo, el principal resultado es que las erogaciones en educación ysalud fueron las clasificaciones funcionales que resultaron procíclicas para más países. Tomado en su conjunto, esto es evidencia de queel gasto social en la región no tiende a cumplir su papel compensatorio. Con respecto al largo plazo, los resultados obtenidos senalanque las prioridades de los gobiernos regionales en la asignación del gasto social están orientadas a educación, salud y seguridad social.Igualmente, los resultados no rechazan la Hipótesis de la Expansión del Gasto Público.
