1 Commodity Prices and Fiscal Policy in Latin America and the Caribbean EMILY SINNOTT
2 Context Examine recent fiscal dependency on commodities How dependent is the region vs. other regions? Evolution of commodity revenues (hydrocarbon and mining) Tax regimes Focus on commodity production Focus on revenues (hydrocarbon and mining) Consumption dependence also critical to fiscal story (role of subsidies in LCR, see Olade, 2007) Link between reliance on commodity revenues and procyclical fiscal policy in LCR Compliment case studies
3 Content 1. Dependency of fiscal revenues on commodity production in LCR 2. Evolution over time of taxation regimes for commodity-dependent countries 3. Fiscal cycles and commodity prices 4. Expenditure and revenue response during recent boom 5. Preliminary results on fiscal response to commodity price movements 6. Future work
4 1. Commodity dependence Following IMF (2007): Countries are considered dependent on mineral resources on the basis of the following criteria i. Average share of mineral fiscal revenues in total fiscal revenues is at least 25 percent on average over , or ii. Average share of mineral export proceeds in total export proceeds is at least 25 percent on average over
5 Six hydrocarbon-dependent countries in region Country/region Average Annual Hydrocarbon Revenues In percent of total fiscal revenue 1/ In percent of GDP Average Annual Hydrocarbon Exports (Goods) In percent of total exports (Goods) In percent of GDP LCR Bolivia Colombia Ecuador M exico Trinidad and Tobago Venezuela
6 Two mining-dependent countries in region Country/ Region Mineral Average Annual M ineral Revenues In percent of total fiscal revenue In percent of GDP Average Annual M ineral Exports In percent of total exports (goods) In percent of GDP LCR Chile Copper Peru Gold, copper, silver
7 What can we say about dependence in the region The natural resource a country produces matters. Oil is associated with far greater fiscal revenues than gas or metals activities. Profitability of gas projects is less robust to changes in production cost parameters compared to oil (Kellas, 2008). Mining tax pressure worldwide tends to be lower relative to that for the oil sector reflecting lower economic rents (Baunsgaard, 2001) Some evidence that mining tax regimes are lower still for Latin America (Otto, 2004). Large diversity in dependency among hydrocarbon producers in the region. Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago high fiscal, output and export dependence Mexico high fiscal, lower exports and low output dependence Colombia low fiscal and output dependence, high but high export dependence. Mineral producers (Chile, Peru) high export dependence, but lower output and low fiscal dependence.
8 Fiscal dependence: measurement problems Quasi-fiscal activities of SOEs and government institutions not included (provision of social services and other public good). Employment over and above the norm in hydrocarbon SOEs not reflected. Cost to SOE of using its leverage to borrow for the government. Use of production-sharing contracts or export bans/taxes to provide a subsidy for domestic consumption of natural resources excluded. Mineral/hydrocarbon levels NB at a subnational but not at a national level.
9 Regional comparison hydrocarbon dependency and abundance measures (annual average, )
10 Since the late 1990s hydrocarbon/mining revenues have grown substantially in the region both as a share of GDP Change Natural resource revenues as a share of GDP (in percent) Average Bolivia Chile Ecuador M exico Peru Trinidad and Tobago Venezuela
11 and as a share of overall revenues Change Natural resource revenues as a share of total revenues (in percent) Average Bolivia Chile Ecuador M exico Peru Trinidad and Tobago Venezuela
12 2. Features of commodity tax regimes in the region Hydrocarbon/mining tax regime a combination of royalties, corporate profit taxes, dividend withholding taxes for nonresidents. Majority of taxes (close to 80 percent) come from corporate profits levied on producers. Strong presence of SOEs in the minerals sector mean a large share of rents accrue directly to the state sector. In 1990s a number of countries in the region reduced tax rates to encourage investment in the minerals sector (Argentina, Chile and Peru). Over recent boom reversal of this trend: increase in tax pressure (e.g. Bolivia, Ecuador) and introduction of royalties (Chile in 2005, Peru in 2004).

14 Dependence on commodity revenues While on average, it may appear that abundant and dependent countries in the region do not appear to be more fiscally dependent compare to other regions (but more to be done on this topic). but large difference within the region and fiscal dependence is growing as a share of GDP and overall revenues. A substantial share of the region s GDP is generated in countries that are defined as hydrocarbon/mining dependent: Five out of the LAC-7 economies are classified as commodity dependent. Little evidence for agricultural product export tax dependence (except Argentina).
15 3. Fiscal cycles and commodity prices Procyclical fiscal policy response to business cycle movements in LA (Gavin and Perotti, 1997; Alesina, Callante and Tabellini, 2008). Two critical channels whereby commodities to trigger procylical response. i. Political economy explanations for procyclical expenditure responses to booms; and ii. Problems of revenues particular to dependence on fiscal revenues from commodity production.
16 Evidence that commodity revenue dependency leads to higher variability of the tax base Structure of taxation in LCR skewed towards consumption and natural resource taxation vs. personal and social security taxation in industrialized countries Commodity revenues more volatile than non-natural resource revenues Evidence of natural resource revenues offsetting other revenues (Bornhorst, Gupta and Thornton, 2008) and reduction in tax effort (Knack, 2008)
17 What do we mean by procyclical? Kaminsky, Reinhart and Végh (2004) defintion i. Procyclical if tax rates fall in booms and rise in recessions, and real government spending increases (decreases) during good (bad) times. ii. Acyclical if constant tax rates and real government spending over the cycle. iii. Countercyclical if tax rates rise (fall) in good (bad) times and real government spending decreases (increases) during good (bad) times.
18 4. Expenditure and revenue response during recent boom

28 5. Preliminary results: Fiscal response to commodity price movements As Kaminsky, Reinhart and Végh (2004), estimate fiscal response to commodity price changes is estimated using: log(e t ) = β 0 + β t log (P it ) where i indexes the country and t denotes years. E t is total expenditure and for business cycles measure use change in (log of) a country-specific commodity export price index P it, both deflated by the CPI. Unbalanced panel for 19 countries over

33 Revenue and expenditure sensitivity to commodity price movements, Expenditure coefficient Colombia Peru Mexico Chile Trinidad and Tobago Bolivia Ecuador Argentina Venezuela, RB Revenue coefficient
34 Preliminary results Expenditure sensitivity Coefficient on commodity price index insignificantly different from zero for all subperiods and subgroups examined. Exception period when there is an indication of an acyclical response (and for , but limited data coverage). Revenue sensitivity Tax rates the appropriate measure, but data unavailable. Strong co-movement found between revenues and commodity prices (as expected)
