TORRES-GUZMAN, Felipe Hernán  and  SALAZAR-ESPINOZA, César Antonio. Budget Structure of Local Governments and Quality of Life in Chilean Cities. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2020, vol.28, n.2, pp.27-48.  Epub Dec 22, 2020. ISSN 0121-6805.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rfce.4701.

Local governments intend to offer a better quality of life; so, their targeting of spending and ability to generate income are relevant. This research uses data from a panel of 93 Chilean cities evaluated for the effects of budget structure on the quality of urban life between 2012-2016. For this, an ordered probit model with random effects is used. The results show a positive impact of municipal spending, permanent income, and investment on the studied cities with differences among the indicator's dimensions.

Keywords : quality of urban life; municipal spending; local governments.
