Descentralización fiscal y desempeño económico en la Región Andina: Chile, Colombia, Ecuador y Perú, 2000-2022

Abstract

Abstract: This research was conducted with the intention of estimating the impact of fiscal decentralization on the current economic performance of the Andean region, focusing on the countries of Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru in the period 2000-2022. The aforementioned countries have explored various ways to boost economic growth through the variables of fiscal decentralization, GDP per capita and tax collection. In order to achieve the objectives, a data collection of the variables that influence the proposed topic was developed. The methodology used was a descriptive and quantitative statistical analysis based on an econometric model of fixed effects panel data. The results obtained in this research explain that fiscal decentralization does not have a positive impact on GDP per capita, although it has an almost zero value, the results indicate a negative relationship. It is inferred that there is no positive impact because the countries analyzed have been in the decentralization process for a short time and have not yet developed their performance.
