Title:  Eficiencia Técnica de las Instituciones Públicas Locales en Colombia
Abstract: Resumen:Utilizando un modelo teórico recursivo basado en la sinergia cognitiva medida por cinco dimensiones (económica, judicial, civil conflictiva, geográfica y urbana) como restricciones para permitir mejores resultados sobre la calidad institucional, la investigación muestra un vínculo entre el entorno económico, social y político con la eficiencia pública en los gobiernos locales. Los impactos sobre la eficiencia del gobierno público local de los diferentes niveles de avance para cada dimensión fueron estimados para 23 ciudades principales en Colombia en 2010 mediante la implementación de un Análisis de Envolvente de Datos seguido de un modelo Tobit, similar al que se ha propuesto en la literatura reciente de análisis de eficiencia pública.Abstract:The impact on local public government efficiency over
poverty levels were estimated for 23 major cities in Colombia in 2010 by
implementing a Data Envelopment Analysis followed by a Tobit model, as proposed
in the recent literature on public efficiency analysis. The output is a Multidimensional Poverty Index, whereas
institutional capacity is considered as an input, and it is measured using a Fiscal Performance Index (FPI) and a Transparency Performance Index (TPI). This allows to establish the extent of possible improvements of
local institutions relative to the best practices frontier, and to identify
which environmental factors are relevant when explaining the differences among
relative efficiency scores. The main finding suggest that poor institutional
settings increase the cost of poverty reductions, which means that all cities
in the sample could improve performance on poverty without increasing spending.
In terms of environmental factors population, unemployment rate, informal labor
market share, and the distance of each city to the central government capital
have negative impacts on the efficiency score, while internet access have a
positive impact on the efficiency score for the sample of cities.
