Este artículo discute la relación entre el Fondo Común Municipal (FCM) y la convergencia de ingresos municipales en Chile entre 2001 y 2011. Utilizando cuasi experimentos y ecuaciones dinámicas, se demuestra que este instrumento no tiene un efecto significativo en la velocidad de convergencia. El débil desarrollo de la descentralización y los bajos incentivos de las municipalidades para obtener fuentes propias de financiamiento, podrían promover diversos comportamientos estratégicos que distorsionarían el efecto redistributivo del FCM en las municipalidades, disminuyendo su impacto en la reducción de las disparidades territoriales en Chile.

Abstract

Abstract

This article discusses the relation between the Municipal Common Fund (Fondo Común Municipal, FCM) and the convergence in municipal income in Chile between 2001 and 2011. Using quasi experiments and dynamic equations, we demonstrate that this decentralization instrument does not have a significant effect on the speed of convergence. The weak development of decentralization and the low incentives for municipalities to obtain their own sources of financing could promote strategic behaviors that distort the redistributive effect of the FCM for municipalities. That fact would decrease the impact of the FCM in reducing regional disparities in Chile.
