| description | This article discusses the ability of traditional econometric estimates of the impact of the retributive taxes as an instrument for spill control in Colombia. For this purpose the effect of fees on pollution is estimated based on two strategies that differ in the type of information that is used as a treatment variable. The first estimate uses a panel data set resulting from the implementation of the retributive taxes in CORNARE's jurisdiction during the period 2011-2014. In this first evaluation the price of the pollution is the rate that charges the environmental authority. In the second case the information comes from a survey applied to companies with spills in the city of Bogotá during the year 2014. For this case the treatment variable is the price perceived by the polluting agents. It was found that the first strategy underestimates the effect of fees because it does not capture the heterogeneous effect of price to pollution and this generates biased and inconsistent estimators of its impact. |

En este artículo se discute la habilidad de las técnicas econométricas de antecedente, para evaluar el impacto de las tasas retributivas como instrumento para el control de los vertimientos en Colombia. Con este propósito se estima el efecto de las tarifas sobre la contaminación a partir de dos estrategias, que difieren en cuanto al tipo de información que se utiliza como variable de tratamiento. En la primera estimación se emplea un conjunto de datos panel, resultado de la implementación de las tasas retributivas en la jurisdicción de CORNARE durante el periodo 2011-2014. En esta primera evaluación, el precio a la contaminación es la tarifa que cobra la autoridad ambiental. En el segundo caso, la información proviene de una encuesta aplicada a empresas con vertimientos en la ciudad de Bogotá durante el año 2014. Para este caso, la variable de tratamiento es el precio percibido por los agentes contaminadores. Se encontró que la primera estrategia subestima el efecto de las tarifas, porque no captura el efecto heterogéneo del precio a la contaminación, lo que genera estimadores sesgados e inconsistentes de su impacto.
