Impacto de la política fiscal sobre el consumo de los hogares ecuatorianos período 2012-2019.

Abstract

This research has as a goal to evaluate the impact of fiscal policy on the consumption of Ecuadorian households during the period 2012-2019. It was hypothesized that, due to the decrease in consumption's share of GDP and its slowdown in growth, through transfers, a significant impact on household consumption was not being achieved. That is to say Fiscal policy was not working to cushion and even exit the recessive stages of the long-term economic cycle for Ecuador. However, after analyzing the literature and adding variables from empirical studies, it was found that, of the fiscal policy variables, direct taxes did not have a significant impact; but transfers did, although with a low level of influence on household consumption. Determining in this way that it is one of the ways to be taken when proposing a public policy focused on economic reactivation through household consumption.
