Resumen

Este estudio evalúa el impacto de la fragmentación política a nivel municipal en el gasto público durante el período 2007-2018 en el caso peruano. Los resultados indican que el efecto de la fragmentación política dentro de un consejo municipal en el gasto de la municipalidad provincial podría ser no lineal. Es decir, la fragmentación política afecta negativamente el gasto en un cierto tramo y positivamente en otro. En particular, observamos que la incidencia ocurre solo en la ejecución del gasto de capital. Por otro lado, la fragmentación política de los distritos dentro de una provincia parece no tener un efecto significativo en la ejecución del gasto en áreas coordinadas como transporte, salud y saneamiento.
