Abstract

Este trabajo analiza el impacto sobre el stock de capital de largo plazo de la economía de la política de impuestos y subsidios a las empresas. El análisis asume que existen empresas con distintos niveles de eficiencia productiva en la economía. Esta característica pasa a ser crucial porque la existencia de impuestos produce la destrucción de las empresas menos eficientes. Este último efecto varía de acuerdo a la combinación de impuestos y subsidios en la economía que, a su vez, determinan las distorsiones sobre precios relativos que enfrenten las empresas. Se simulan distintos escenarios por medio de métodos numéricos. Los resultados muestran que la política de impuestos óptimos puede afectar significativamente el stock de capital de largo plazo de la economía. Además se determina una frontera de posibilidades de recaudación, definida de acuerdo a las combinaciones de políticas impositivas que permiten maximizar stock de capital para distintos niveles de recaudación fiscal en el largo plazo.
