Abstract

Dentro de la literatura económica un “sin tax” es un impuesto específico que grava un bien o actividad considerado como pecaminoso o dañino para la sociedad. En los últimos años este tipo de impuesto ha tenido gran apoyo gracias al avance de la economía conductual, cuyo marco teórico plantea que a la hora de tomar decisiones de consumo, los individuos se comportan de forma irracional. Así, la intervención y regulación estatal se justifica, pues permite desincentivar el consumo de bienes que no brindan bienestar en el largo plazo a los individuos y que, sin embargo éstos consumirán en el corto plazo. El avance de un Estado paternalista a través del uso de “sin taxes”, sin embargo, no está libre de discusión. Existen autores bastante críticos respecto de si los efectos de estos impuestos son efectivamente beneficiosos para los individuos o si el avance de este tipo de políticas más bien atenta contra la libertad individual. El presente ensayo analizará si la estructura de la penalización del aborto en Chile permite que ésta se entienda como un sin tax, revisando las características de la penalización que son homologables a este tipo de impuestos e instalando el aborto dentro de la discusión sobre el paternalismo de Estado.
