Abstract: This article discusses the role of intergovernmental transfers by using an empirical analysis applied to a panel of regions (departments) of Uruguay during the period 2006 í'– 2014. First, we discuss the structure and evolution of the regional fiscal disparities and the equalizers effects of the current transfer system in Uruguay. Then, we propose a new methodology that allows us to simulate the effects of the implementation of a new system of equalizer transfers. The main result suggests that the implementation of this new system of intergovernmental fiscal transfers contributes to consolidating a territory with a higher level of fiscal homogeneity.
