Abstract: Bolivia went through a very important territorial transformation following the approval of the Popular Participation Law in 1994, which led to generalised municipal opening. The benefits of this reform were accompanied by a number of negative effects, such as those regarding the system of State transfers to municipalities. This article proposes a new model of transfers to municipalities that would complement the current “system of per capita fiscal endowments to municipalities” with a model of “inter-municipal fiscal equalization by blocks”.
