| description | This article is framed in the literature on corruption and its effects on the economy. Particularly, we analyze the effect that corruption has on government expenditure of the governorates (main administrative agencies at the departmental level) of the states (or departments, which are administrative divisions) of Colombia for the period 2008-2018. For this purpose, a corruption indicator is constructed based on criminal punishment against civil servants, and then econometric models are used to measure the impact of corruption on education, health and infrastructure spending. The results show that the governorates with the highest risk of corruption spend more on education and infrastructure and less on health. In addition, the level of economic development also impacts the type of spending made by each governorate. |

Este trabajo está enmarcado en la literatura sobre la corrupción y sus efectos en la economía. En particular, es analizado el efecto que trae la corrupción sobre los gastos públicos de las gobernaciones de los departamentos de Colombia para el período 2008-2018. Para ello es construido un indicador de corrupción basado en las sanciones penales a los funcionarios públicos y luego se verifica su impacto sobre el gasto en educación, salud e infraestructura mediante modelos econométricos. Los resultados muestran que las gobernaciones con mayores riesgos de corrupción gastan más en educación e infraestructura y menos en salud. Además, el nivel de desarrollo económico también impacta el tipo de gasto que hace cada gobernación.
