    El trabajo analiza las relaciones entre gasto público y crecimiento en los países de la OCDE. También se realiza una desagregación del gasto y se contrasta la existencia de relaciones no lineales que dan lugar a cambios en el signo y la intensidad de los efectos a lo largo del tiempo. Finalmente, se examina la interacción entre la calidad institucional y el gasto público. La conclusión principal es que, si bien el tamaño alcanzado por el gasto puede ser una rémora para el crecimiento, tanto la composición del gasto como la calidad del gobierno ejercen una influencia significativa.

    The paper analyses the relationship between public expenditure and growth in OECD countries. It also disaggregates spending and contrasts the existence of non-linear relationships that lead to changes in the sign and size of the effects over time. Finally, the interaction between institutional quality and public spending is examined. The main conclusion is that, while the size achieved by spending can be a drag on growth, both the composition of spending and the quality of government have a significant influence.
