    Diversidad de trabajos han estudiado los factores que influyen en los procesos de externalización de los servicios públicos locales. En este sentido, estudiamos la influencia de variables políticas, socioeconómicas y financieras sobre la probabilidad de externalizar los servicios mínimos obligatorios de los municipios de más de 1.000 habitantes, mediante una metodología dinámica efectuada durante un amplio horizonte temporal (2002-2013). Los resultados obtenidos aplicando un análisis de supervivencia a una muestra de 2.190 municipios indican que la proximidad de las elecciones disminuye la probabilidad de externalizar esta tipología de servicios mientras que la ideología política no influye en esta decisión. Por otro lado,, el gasto de capital disminuye la probabilidad de externalizar y el gasto corriente la incrementa.

    In recent years, there has been increasing research interest in how local public finance is administered, and specifically on the factors that motivate managers to make changes in revenue and spending patterns. Diverse authors have concluded that one of the factors influencing such variations is the need for municipal governments to seek re-election as new elections approach
