“…Meanwhile, the denominator of the tax effort would correspond to the potential tax resources which a government could obtain using the tax bases available to it (tax capacity). This denominator would be independent of the action of the government (Martínez-Vázquez and Boex, 1997), and as it is unobservable, this figure is difficult to quantify. The goodness of the tax effort indicator would thus depend on the quality of the measurement of the denominator (or tax capacity).…”

“…Los municipios de mayor desarrollo relativo tienen un potencial de recaudación por habitante más alto y recaudan un mayor porcentaje de este que los de menor desarrollo (57,6% contra 19,9%, respectivamente), lo que les representa una mayor disponibilidad de recursos a los primeros y genera desigualdades en la capacidad de gasto. Una forma adicional de medir la disparidad fiscal horizontal es por medio de la diferencia entre la necesidad de gasto y la capacidad fiscal (Le Grand, 1975;Martínez-Vázquez y Boex, 2001b). De esta forma, se conoce el monto de recursos per cá-pita que los diferentes gobiernos locales requieren, adicionales a los que pueden obtener dada su actividad económica, el tamaño y la estructura de su población y el tamaño del sector público, o su excedente de recursos, dada su necesidad de gasto en condiciones de equidad.…”

“…In the public finance literature, fiscal capacity is commonly interpreted as the ability of a government to raise revenue to finance public services (Akin, ; Martinez‐Vazquez and Boex, ). This capacity is influenced by two primary factors — the economic base that can be used to generate revenues and the government's willingness and conscious effort to extract those revenues (Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations, ; Kincaid, ).…”
