Institucións e sistema fiscalreflexións desde a nova economía institucional

Laburpena

The New Institutional Economics is the most relevant body of theory to emerge in economics in recent years. In these pages, we expose how the fiscal system is seen from this new economic focus. We start presenting the institutional and organizational character of the fiscal system. We point out how, behind a fiscal system, a State exists, and how this State decides the fiscal system, setting from the Nobel Laureate Douglass North State Theory. We analyse how the fiscal phenomenon is studied from two different perspectives that form institutionalism: a macro and a micro. Next, we expose the importance of social capital for the fiscal system, which constitutes one of the factors that allows us to defend the non existence of fiscal rules the optimality of which is general. We expose how Transaction Cost Politic Theory allows new dimensions to analyse tax matters, and we finish with a recapitulation as our conclusion
