 Impacto de la globalización y la apertura comercial en el gasto público social subnacionalMaría Noelia Garbero () Estudios Economicos, 2016, vol. 033 (Nueva Serie), issue 66, 9-45 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to study the effects of economic liberalization and globalization on the structure of provincial government spending in Argentina. In particular, the effects on social expenditure and its components as an expression of the welfare state. Most of the literature has focused on identifying this relationship at the country level and a novel aspect of this work is to extend the analysis to the province. Another contribution is to estimate an index of provincial globalization adapted from Index KOF (Dreher, 2006). A dynamic model is estimated using the generalized method of moments and a panel data for 24 jurisdictions of Argentina for the period 1993-2010. The results indicate that openness and globalization of the economy, negatively impact the share of social spending, the result expected from the point of view of the “efficiency” effects versus the “compensation” effects; although there are indications of compensatory policies related to education spending Keywords: apertura; globalización; estructura del gasto; gasto social; gobiernos subnacionales; openness; globalization; expenditure structure; social spending; subnational governments (search for similar items in EconPapers) Downloads: (external link) Related works: Export reference: BibTeX RIS (EndNote, ProCite, RefMan) HTML/Text Persistent link: https://EconPapers.repec.org/RePEc:uns:esteco:v:33:y:2016:i:66:p:9-45 Access Statistics for this article More articles in Estudios Economicos from Universidad Nacional del Sur, Departamento de Economia Contact information at EDIRC. |
