Resumen

This study examines the relationship between fiscal decentralization and human development in Latin America, using data from 15 countries between 1990 and 2020. The objective is to assess how subnational spending, alongside variables such as access to drinking water, education and health expenditures, and regulatory quality, influence the Human Development Index (HDI). Static and dynamic panel models were employed, including the Arellano-Bond method to control for endogeneity. Results indicate that fiscal decentralization and access to drinking water have a positive and significant impact on HDI, while education and health spending show variable effects. The study concludes that efficient public management and reducing inequalities are crucial for enhancing human development in the region.
