Abstract

Este trabajo analiza la estrategia fiscal óptima para Chile, determinando el gasto total y fiscal de la economía, así como de la carga tributaria considerando (i) el problema de distribución intergeneracional de los recursos asociados al cobre; (ii) que los ingresos del cobre son volátiles, transitorios y afectan al resto de la economía; y (iii) que el ingreso total y tributario aumenta en el tiempo. Se considera tres modelos, teoría del ingreso del cobre permanente, teoría del ingreso fiscal permanente y el modelo normativo condicional (MNC) propuesto en Engel y Valdés (2000); cada uno de ellos en versiones sin y con ahorro por precaución. Aun cuando el enfoque del trabajo es normativo, cabe notar que el modelo que entrega prescripciones más cercanas a lo que observamos en la realidad es el MNC con ahorro por precaución.
