countries in Latin America and the Caribbean under different assumptions about the output gap and structural commodity prices. Structural fiscal balances strip out the effects of the business cycle and temporary commodity-price swings to reveal the underlying fiscal stance of governments.\n\n### What makes it distinctive\nThe database differs from much existing work on structural fiscal balances in three ways:\n\n1. Revenue-specific cyclical adjustment. Rather than applying a single elasticity, it calculates individual elasticities for each source of revenue (for example direct taxes, indirect taxes, and revenues from non-renewable resources). Because different revenue types respond differently to changes in the output gap, this disaggregated approach allows a more fine-tuned cyclical adjustment.\n2. Real-time estimates. Beyond actual SFBs, it provides estimates of the SFBs that would have resulted had the output-gap projections available to policymakers at the time of designing fiscal policy (data in real time) been correct, in contrast to purely ex post analyses based on actual and revised output-gap information.\n3. Fiscal-response measures. It offers measures of the fiscal impulse, assessing both the actual and the intentional fiscal stance, as well as the degree of procyclicality of fiscal policy.\n\n### Coverage and use\nThe dataset covers 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean over the period 1990\u20132014. It is a tool to assess fiscal performance in the region and supports research and policy analysis on fiscal management, fiscal policy, government budgets, and tax collection.

Al depurar el efecto del ciclo econ\u00f3mico y de los vaivenes temporales en los precios de los productos b\u00e1sicos, estos balances dejan a la vista la postura fiscal de fondo de cada gobierno.\n\n### Qu\u00e9 la hace distintiva\nFrente a buena parte de la literatura sobre balances fiscales estructurales, esta base de datos aporta tres elementos diferenciadores:\n\n1. Ajuste c\u00edclico por tipo de ingreso. En vez de una elasticidad \u00fanica, estima elasticidades propias para cada fuente de ingreso (por ejemplo, impuestos directos, impuestos indirectos e ingresos de recursos no renovables). Como cada tipo de ingreso reacciona de forma distinta ante los cambios en la brecha del producto, este tratamiento desagregado afina el ajuste c\u00edclico.\n2. Estimaciones en tiempo real. Junto con los BFE efectivos, se presentan los que se habr\u00edan obtenido si las proyecciones de la brecha del producto con que contaban los responsables de pol\u00edticas al dise\u00f1ar la pol\u00edtica fiscal (datos en tiempo real) hubieran resultado acertadas, a diferencia de los an\u00e1lisis estrictamente ex post que parten de informaci\u00f3n efectiva y revisada de la brecha del producto.\n3.

Pensada como instrumento para medir el desempe\u00f1o fiscal en la regi\u00f3n, sirve de base a investigadores y responsables de pol\u00edticas en el estudio de la gesti\u00f3n fiscal, la pol\u00edtica fiscal, el presupuesto p\u00fablico y la recaudaci\u00f3n de impuestos.

Con\u00e7u pour \u00e9valuer la performance budg\u00e9taire de la r\u00e9gion, il appuie les chercheurs et les d\u00e9cideurs politiques dans l\u2019analyse de la gestion fiscale, de la politique budg\u00e9taire, du budget public et du recouvrement des imp\u00f4ts. Les donn\u00e9es sont diffus\u00e9es sous forme de fichiers CSV et XLSX.", "pt_BR": "Desenvolvida pelo Banco Interamericano de Desenvolvimento (BID), a Base de Dados de Saldos Fiscais Estruturais para ALC re\u00fane estimativas dos saldos fiscais estruturais (SFE) de 20 pa\u00edses da Am\u00e9rica Latina e o Caribe, calculadas sob diferentes pressupostos a respeito do hiato do produto e dos pre\u00e7os estruturais das commodities. Ao descontar o efeito do ciclo econ\u00f4mico e das oscila\u00e7\u00f5es tempor\u00e1rias nos pre\u00e7os das commodities, esses saldos revelam a postura fiscal de fundo de cada governo.\n\n### O que a torna distinta\nDiante de boa parte da literatura sobre saldos fiscais estruturais, esta base de dados se destaca em tr\u00eas frentes:\n\n1. Ajuste c\u00edclico por tipo de receita. No lugar de uma elasticidade \u00fanica, estima elasticidades pr\u00f3prias para cada fonte de receita (por exemplo, impostos diretos, impostos indiretos e receitas de recursos n\u00e3o renov\u00e1veis). Como cada tipo de receita reage de modo distinto \u00e0s varia\u00e7\u00f5es do hiato do produto, esse tratamento desagregado torna o ajuste c\u00edclico mais refinado.\n2. Estimativas em tempo real. Ao lado dos SFE efetivos, apresenta os que teriam sido obtidos caso as proje\u00e7\u00f5es do hiato do produto de que dispunham os formuladores de pol\u00edticas ao desenhar a pol\u00edtica fiscal (dados em tempo real) tivessem se confirmado, em contraste com an\u00e1lises estritamente ex post apoiadas em informa\u00e7\u00f5es efetivas e revisadas do hiato do produto.\n3. Medidas de resposta fiscal. Traz indicadores do impulso fiscal que permitem avaliar tanto a postura fiscal efetiva quanto a intencional, al\u00e9m do grau de prociclicidade da pol\u00edtica fiscal.\n\n### Cobertura e uso\nO conjunto de dados abrange 20 pa\u00edses da Am\u00e9rica Latina e o Caribe entre 1990 e 2014. Concebida para mensurar o desempenho fiscal da regi\u00e3o, serve de apoio a pesquisadores e formuladores de pol\u00edticas no exame da gest\u00e3o fiscal, da pol\u00edtica fiscal, do or\u00e7amento p\u00fablico e da arrecada\u00e7\u00e3o de impostos. Os dados s\u00e3o disponibilizados em arquivos CSV e XLSX."}}}
