Abstract

El presente documento pretende analizar empíricamente la eficacia de la descentralización en Bolivia, entendida ésta como la capacidad de la administración municipal para cubrir sus necesidades locales. Asimismo, se busca medir las externalidades emergentes de la inversión del gobierno central en obras locales (programa Bolivia Cambia) sobre la administración municipal de los recursos. Para este propósito, se construye la misma base de datos utilizada por Faguet (2004, 2013) en el período 1987-2007, para el período 2008-2016, y se trabaja con una muestra de datos de panel municipal en el período 1987-2016. El trabajo sigue la estrategia metodológica planteada por Faguet (2004, 2013), Faguet y Sánchez (2008). Finalmente, para el análisis de las externalidades se adapta la anterior estrategia metodológica para estimarla con técnicas propias de la econometría espacial. Los resultados sugieren cambios importantes en los patrones de inversión municipal debido a la descentralización, la mayoría de ellos al ineados con sus necesidades locales. Asimismo, se encuentra efectos significativos en el comportamiento de la inversión local por la implementación del programa Bolivia Cambia.
