Abstract

La extracción de recursos naturales no renovables tiene el potencial de generar ingresos para financiar las actividades del gobierno. Una de las herramientas fiscales más usadas es el cobro de regalías a proyectos mineros ya que suelen estar desligadas de la rentabilidad de estos. Las regalías tienen diferentes canales para impactar positivamente el desarrollo regional, los cuales en algunos casos pueden tener efectos contrarios. Usando un modelo de equilibrio general regional computable, este documento estima los efectos del pago de regalías por parte de las actividades mineras en el desarrollo regional en Colombia. Los resultados evidencian que los beneficios en el bienestar y la reducción de las desigualdades regionales por la imposición de regalías, son mayores que las pérdidas que puede generar en el producto regional. Adicionalmente, se encontraron evidencias de efectos heterogéneos por región y por sector. **** ABSTRACT: The extraction of non-renewable natural resources has the potential to generate revenue to finance government activities. One of the most used tax tools is the collection of royalties from mining projects because they are usually unrelated to their profitability. Royalties often have different channels to have a positive impact on regional development, which in some cases can have opposite effects. Using a computable regional equilibrium model, this paper estimates the general equilibrium effects of royalty payments by mining activities in the regional development in Colombia. The results indicate that the benefits in welfare and the reduction of regional inequalities due to the imposition of royalties, are greater than the losses that it can generate in the regional output. Further results show the presence of regional and sectoral heterogeneities.
