description |
Spain is one of the European countries with more municipalities adhering to the Local Agenda 21 (LA21). Environmental spending exerts a great influence on implementing LA21. But some authors raise doubts about the firm commitment of local governments to LA21 objectives. Thus, the main objective of this paper is to verify whether political commitment is backed up with action towards meeting the objectives of sustainable development by means of budgetary support for waste management policies. To accomplish this, we applied the Difference in Differences technique for the period 2002-2012 in the Spanish municipalities. Our initial results confirmed the original hypotheses and showed that local governments that adhered to LA21 were genuinely committed to achieving at least one LA21 goal and offering greater budgetary support for waste management. However, the sensitivity analysis revealed unexpectedly ambiguous evidence about the research question, in that we observed a great volatility of results depending on the sample and dependent variables chosen España es uno de los países europeos con más municipios adheridos a la Agenda 21 Local (AL21). El gasto medioambiental ejerce una gran influencia en la implementación de la AL21. No obstante, algunos autores han planteado dudas sobre la existencia de un compromiso real por parte de los gobiernos locales con los objetivos de la AL21. Así pues, el principal objetivo de este trabajo es verificar la autenticidad del compromiso político hacia el cumplimiento de los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible por parte de las autoridades locales, reflejando dicho compromiso en el apoyo presupuestario a las políticas de gestión de residuos. Para llevar a cabo tal verificación aplicaremos la técnica conocida como Diferencia en diferencias sobre los datos presupuestarios de los municipios españoles durante el periodo 2002-2012. Los resultados inicialmente obtenidos confirmaron que los gobiernos locales adheridos a la AL21 están realmente comprometidos con al menos un objetivo de la AL21, el relativo a la gestión de residuos, y dicho compromiso se ve reflejado en un mayor apoyo presupuestario. No obstante, el análisis de sensibilidad puso de manifiesto la existencia de una inesperada y ambigua evidencia respecto a la pregunta de investigación. Se observa una notable volatilidad de los resultados dependiendo de la muestra y la variable dependiente elegida Financial support of the research project: 014-ABEL-CM- 2014A —Sustainable development as an innovation opportunity in management model of public organisations; evaluation and promotion of citizen participation towards sustainability; supported by a grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA Financial Mechanism and operated by Universidad Complutense de Madrid; Call ABEL-CM-2014A of NILS Mobility Program for Science and Sustainability |
