Abstract
Este documento presenta una revision de la literatura teorica sobre la economia politica del presupuesto, describe el proceso presupuestal en Colombia con sus problemas y limitaciones, y explora en detalle los componentes de transferencias y de inversion del Presupuesto General de la Nacion (PGN), cuya composicion es mas compleja de evaluar por la naturaleza y la variedad de sus partidas. Estos dos componentes representan cerca del 60% del PGN y evidencian una gran in exibilidad del gasto publico, especialmente en transferencias. La in exibilidad tiene origen en la diversidad de apropiaciones con respaldo legal, que limitan el margen de maniobra de los gobiernos a la hora de formular el presupuesto. La inversion esta integrada por una gama amplia de programas sociales y subsidios y por proyectos de infraestructura, que en algunos casos corresponden a compromisos adquiridos en vigencias anteriores, a traves de las denominadas vigencias futuras, las cuales tambien in exibilizan el PGN. La rigidez del PGN se profundiza con la aprobacion frecuente de leyes que generan gasto adicional de manera transitoria o permanente. **** ABSTRACT: This paper presents a review of the theoretical literature on the political economy of the government budget, describes the budget process in Colombia with its problems and limitations, and explores in detail the transfer and investment components of the General Budget of the Nation, whose composition is more complex to evaluate due to the nature and variety of its items. These two components represent close to 60% of the budget and show great in exibility of public spending, especially in transfers. The in exibility stems from the diversity of appropriations with legal backing, which limits the margin of maneuver for governments when formulating the budget. The investment is made up of a wide range of social programs, subsidies and infrastructure projects, which in some cases correspond to commitments acquired in previous periods, through so-called "vigencias futuras", which also contribute to the in exibility of the budget.
