Abstract

This paper analyzes the different methodologies used to estimate the long-run discount rate to be used when evaluating public projects in certain countries. Additionally, it estimates, for Chile, the discount rate, based on two methodologies: one is a small variation of Gamma discounting, first proposed by Martin Weitzman (2001), and the other one uses the Ramsey formula derived from a growth model to estimate the social rate of time preference.// Este artículo analiza las distintas metodologías usadas en algunos países para estimar la tasa de descuento a largo plazo utilizada en proyectos públicos. Adicionalmente, estima, para Chile, la tasa de descuento, con base en dos metodologías. la primera es una variación del método de descuento gamma, propuesto por Weitzman (2001); la segunda usa la fórmula de Ramsey que se deriva de un modelo de crecimiento para estimar la tasa social de preferencia por el tiempo
