Abstract

Abstract This study evaluates the impact of political fragmentation at the municipal level on public expenditure during the period 2007–2018 for the Peruvian case. The results indicate that the effect of political fragmentation within a municipal council on the spending of the provincial municipality could be non-linear. That is, political fragmentation affects negatively the expenditure in a certain tranche and positively in another. In particular, we observe that the incidence occurs only on the execution of capital expenditure. On the other hand, the political fragmentation of the districts within a province seems not to have a significant effect on the execution of expenditure in coordinated areas such as transport, health, and sanitation.

政治分裂对秘鲁市政支出的影响

本研究以秘鲁为例，评估了2007-2018年期间市政层面政治分裂对公共支出的影响。结果表明，市议会内部的政治分裂对省级市政支出的影响可能是非线性的。也就是说，政治分裂对某一部分支出产生消极影响，对另一部分支出产生积极影响。我们特别注意到，这种情况只发生在资本支出的执行上。另一方面，一个省内各区的政治分裂似乎不会对交通、保健和卫生等协调领域的支出执行产生重大影响。(JEL代码:E62, H54, H72, P16, P35)
