Abstract
Un estado rentista se caracteriza por una estructura económica poco diversificada y polarizada hacia el petróleo, fiscalidad petrolera alta y gestión de la renta regida bajo criterios políticos, además de una economía vulnerable ante las fluctuaciones del precio de petróleo. El presente trabajo concluye que estos rasgos se intensificaron en el Ecuador como consecuencia del cambio político del 2007. En particular se fortalecieron rasgos del sector público y objetivos de la gestión de la renta además de que aumentó la vulnerabilidad de la demanda a la evolución del precio de petróleo. Así, a pesar de los esfuerzos del gobierno por aumentar la captación de ingresos no petroleros e invertir en capital, no se ha logrado contrarrestar un mayor grado de rentismo.
A rentier state is characterized by having a non-diversified economic structure that is biased towards petroleum, high representation of oil income in total public income, rent management ruled by political criteria and high economic vulnerability to changes in oil prices. This paper concludes that these characteristics in Ecuador were intensified as a consequence of the political change in 2007. Particularly features related to the public sector and the objectives of rent management where deepened, but the vulnerability of demand to fluctuations in oil prices did also increase. So, in spite of the government’s efforts to increase non-oil income and invest in capital, a higher level of rentierism has not been counteracted.
