Abstract
Resumen La literatura empirica presenta diversos resultados acerca del impacto que tiene el gasto publico sobre el producto interno bruto (PIB) de los paises en general. Este articulo presenta evidencia sobre el impacto que tiene dicho gasto sobre el PIB en 24 departamentos de Colombia, durante el periodo 1984-2012. Ademas, se aplica una prueba de causalidad con datos de panel con el fin de determinar si la relacion se sustenta mediante el enfoque keynesiano o el enfoque wagneriano. A traves de un modelo de datos de panel cointegrado, se obtiene esta relacion y se estiman los coeficientes de la relacion de equilibrio de largo plazo. Los resultados muestran un efecto positivo y significativo del gasto publico primario sobre el PIB, lo cual va en la via del enfoque keynesiano y confirma la hipotesis de que aumentos en el gasto publico contribuyen al crecimiento economico. Abstract: The empirical literature shows mixed results regarding the impact of public spending on the gross domestic product (GDP) of countries in general. This paper presents evidence on the impact of public spending on regional GDP in 24 departments of Colombia, during the period 1984-2012. In addition, we apply a causality test with panel data with the aim to determine whether this relationship is supported by the Keynesian approach or the Wagnerian approach. Using a model of cointegrated panel data, we obtain the long-run equilibrium relationship and estimate its coefficients. The results show a significant and positive effect of primary public spending on GDP, which is in line with the Keynesian approach and confirms the hypothesis that increases in public spending contribute to economic growth.
