摘要

我比较了地方税收和开采自然资源的特许权使用费对哥伦比亚市政当局治理的影响，利用了地籍更新和世界石油价格波动带来的看似外生的变化。与石油特许权使用费的同等规模增长相比，更高的税收对教育、卫生和水利领域的地方公共产品的影响更大，尽管特许权使用权使用费专门用于这些领域的支出。更高的税收也降低了对市市长进行纪律起诉的可能性，而特许权使用费则相反，尤其是与公共支出有关的不当行为。

Natural Resource Rents, Local Taxes, and Government Performance: Evidence from Colombia

I compare the impact of local tax revenue and royalties from the extraction of natural resources on governance in Colombian municipalities, leveraging plausibly exogenous variation from cadastral updates and fluctuations in the world price of oil. Higher tax revenue has a larger effect on local public goods in the areas of education, health, and water than a same-sized increase in oil royalties, despite earmarking of royalties for spending in these areas. Higher tax revenue also reduces the probability of a disciplinary prosecution against the municipal mayor, while the opposite is true for royalties, particularly for misbehavior related to public spending.
