Abstract

Este documento estudia la relación de la política fiscal subnacional con los ciclos económicos en Colombia. Para ello, se estima un modelo dinámico de datos panel para municipios y departamentos durante el periodo 1990-2018. Los resultados senalan que, en promedio, la política fiscal subnacional en Colombia fue pro-cíclica en este periodo. No obstante, se encuentra una tendencia hacia menor pro-ciclicidad luego de las principales reformas al sistema de transferencias y la introducción de normas sobre responsabilidad fiscal subnacional. Las primeras buscaron un diseno menos pro-cíclico de las transferencias, mientras que las segundas fomentaron la disciplina y sosteniblidad de las finanzas locales. Por otra parte, se identifica un aumento reciente en la pro-ciclicidad de los gastos de inversión en los municipios de menor desarrollo y departamentos, lo cual coincide con el aumento en la participación de regalías en este grupo de entidades territoriales. **** ABSTRACT: This paper studies the relationship between subnational fiscal policy and economic cycles in Colombia. To do so, we estimate a dynamic panel data model for Colombian municipalities and departments during the period 1990-2018. The main findings show that, on average, subnational fiscal policy in Colombia was pro-cyclical in this period. However, results highlight lower pro-cyclicality following the main reforms to intergovernmental transfers and the introduction of subnational responsibility laws. The former led to a less pro-cyclical design of this source of revenues, while the latter fostered fiscal discipline and local finances' sustainability. Furthermore, we find evidence of higher pro-cyclicality of capital expenditures in less-developed municipalities and departments, which coincides with the increase in royalties' participation in this group of territorial entities.
