          Abstract

          La presente investigación tiene por objeto la medición del multiplicador fiscal de la inversión pública y sus cambios ante períodos de auge y declive de precios externos. Se utiliza por primera vez el método de proyecciones locales con variables instrumentales en base a Ramey y Zubairy (2018) para el caso de la economía boliviana. Los resultados presentan un multiplicador de inversión pública acumulado de 0.72 hasta el trimestre 12. Asimismo, el multiplicador es de 0.19 al trimestre 12 y 0.97 al trimestre 7 para períodos de auge y declive, respectivamente. Se concluye que el multiplicador es positivo y menor a la unidad; sin embargo, cuando la economía experimenta buenos (malos) precios internacionales, el efecto multiplicador de la inversión pública es menor (mayor) de lo que sugiere una disminución (incremento) de la eficiencia en el gasto de capital del Gobierno.

          Translated abstract

          The purpose of this research is to measure the fiscal multiplier of public investment and its changes in times of boom and bust in external prices. The method of Local Projections with Instrumental Variables based on Ramey and Zubairy (2018) is used for the first time in the case of Bolivian economy. The results present a cumulative public investment multiplier of 0.72 up to quarter 12. Likewise, the multiplier is 0.19 at quarter 12 and 0.97 at quarter 7 for boom and bust periods, respectively. It is concluded that the multiplier is positive and less than unity, however, when the economy experiences good (bad) export prices, the multiplier effect of public investment is less (greater), which suggests a decrease (increase) in the efficiency in government capital spending.
