Abstract

Entre 2006 y 2014, Bolivia experimentó un periodo de bonanza impulsado principalmente por el incremento de los precios internacionales de los commodities. Paradójicamente, durante el mismo periodo las demandas de diferentes grupos sociales se incrementaron y las preocupaciones en torno a los altos niveles de corrupción en la administración pública no se redujeron, sugiriendo un proceso de intensificación del comportamiento no deseado socialmente denominado rent-seeking. Esta investigación propone un modelo de equilibrio general que incorpora una tecnología de rent-seeking y cuyos efectos se ven amplificados producto de una muy alta dependencia en los ingresos generados por la venta de recursos naturales, con el objetivo de investigar el impacto de la intensificación de comportamientos rentistas sobre la economía. El modelo encuentra evidencia de importantes pérdidas generadas por el rent-seeking para Bolivia tanto en términos de crecimiento del producto como del bienestar general de su población.
