| description | The implementation and evolution of the process of decentralization in Colombia in tax and administrative matters has been transferring competencies, functions and responsibilities to local governments, providing them with resources to assume new commitments through the transfer of funds from the central to the regional level. It has occurred in a scenario where the highest taxes belong to the nation, while municipalities must be financed with limited levies in terms of quantity and efficiency, which makes them depend, to a higher degree, on the money transferred from the central government. It is the case of 87.9% of the municipalities of Colombia which are classified as category six municipalities, according to the parameters established in Law 617/2000, and means that they have a low capacity for a self-financing and high level of tax reliance. These factors gave rise to the present article, in which this problem is approached with a causality analysis, based on the use of econometric estimations. |

La implementación y evolución del proceso de descentralización en Colombia en materia fiscal y administrativa ha ido trasladando competencias, funciones y responsabilidades hacia los gobiernos locales, dotándolos de recursos para asumir los nuevos compromisos a través de la transferencia de recursos del nivel central al territorial, en un escenario donde los tributos de mayor recaudo pertenecen a la nación, en tanto que los municipios se deben financiar con gravámenes limitados en términos de cantidad y eficiencia, lo que los hace depender, en mayor grado, de los dineros transferidos desde el gobierno central. Este es el caso del 87.9 % de los municipios del país, clasificados como de sexta categoría de acuerdo con los parámetros establecidos en la Ley 617 del 2000, cuya baja capacidad de autofinanciamiento y alto nivel de dependencia fiscal dio origen al presente artículo, en el cual se aborda esta problemática con un análisis de causalidad, basado en el uso de estimaciones econométricas.
