Resumen

El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo analizar la contribución de las distintas fuentes de ingresos de las Comunidades Autónomas de régimen común a la desigualdad y la progresividad del sistema de financiación autonómica en su conjunto. En el apartado 1 se resume la literatura sobre medición de los desequilibrios financieros horizontales en sistemas de financiación federales, constatándose la ausencia de instrumentos que midan el impacto individual de cada fuente de ingresos. En el apartado 2 se propone la metodología a aplicar, en concreto la descomposición natural de los índices de concentración y la descomposición directa del índice de Suits. En el apartado 3 se presentan los resultados de la aplicación de la metodología propuesta. Y finalmente en el apartado 4 se presentan las conclusiones, resultando que es el Fondo de Suficiencia, en cuanto variable cierre del sistema, el que determina la distribución final de recursos y su sentido progresivo, pero que al perderse una parte de progresividad por el comportamiento de los tributos cedidos resulta imprescindible el FCI, para compensar dicha pérdida.

Abstract

The present paper has as aim to analyse the contribution to the inequality and progressiveness of financing resources of Comunidades Autónomas. In the first part we resume the literature on measurement of the horizontal fiscal imbalances in systems of federal funding, where we confirm the absence of instruments that measure the individual impact of each source of revenue. In the part 2 we propose the methodology to apply, in concrete the natural decomposition of the indexes of concentration and the direct decomposition of the index of Suits. In the part 3 we present the results of the application of the methodology proposed. And finally in the part 4 we present the conclusions, resulting that it is the Fondo de Suficiencia, as variable closing of the system, who determines the final distribution of resources and his progressive sense, but since a part of progressiveness disappear by the behaviour of the tributos cedidos, results indispensable the FCI to compensate said loss.
