MENDOZA VELAZQUEZ, Alfonso  and  CRUZ VASQUEZ, Miguel. Transference and political cohesion of dissident governments in Mexico. agric. soc. desarro [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.2, pp.239-264.  Epub Feb 25, 2020. ISSN 1870-5472.  https://doi.org/10.22231/asyd.v16i2.1009.

The integration hypothesis proposes that transferences can be used as instruments of adhesion, rather than as incentives to reinforce fiscal autonomy. In this study, we test this hypothesis by examining the differential amounts of transferences allotted to municipalities ruled by uses and customs and to municipalities ruled by political parties, using information from the 570 municipalities of the state of Oaxaca. We established the dynamic impact of participations and contributions on the fiscal effort of the two types of municipalities through Autoregressive Vectors (ARV) and we distinguish the dynamism of fiscal variables and the common factors in both types of municipalities. We find that the municipalities with uses and customs have received higher federal transferences per capita; that participations exert a positive and persistent impact on the municipality’s own tax collection; that contributions have a negative and persistent impact of the municipality’s own tax collection; that contributions impact negatively the participations; and that participations impact positively the contributions.

Keywords : fiscal autonomy; fiscal federalism; uses and customs.
