Abstract

espanolEn este trabajo se concluye que, a pesar de los esfuerzos realizados para aumentar la movilizacion de recursos internos en aras de un mayor crecimiento economico en Camerun, el ritmo de crecimiento de dichos aumentos no ha sido seguido por el ritmo de crecimiento economico. En este contexto, este articulo evalua empiricamente el efecto de la movilizacion de los distintos capitulos de recursos nacionales en el crecimiento economico de Camerun. La investigacion empirica se lleva a cabo con informacion de los indicadores de desarrollo del Banco Mundial para Camerun en el periodo 1980- 2013. En el analisis empirico llevado a cabo se utilizan instrumentos de estadistica descriptiva y el metodo de los momentos generalizado con variables instrumentales. Los resultados muestran la existencia de una relacion positiva significativa entre las distintas vertientes de los recursos nacionales y el crecimiento economico camerunes. Desde la perspectiva de la actuacion politica, una conclusion importante es que, ademas de la implementacion de reformas fiscales, para que Camerun pueda financiar sus programas de desarrollo se necesitan medidas como la ampliacion de la base imponible, fuentes alternativas de ingresos, y reformas institucionales EnglishThis paper observes that despite the efforts made to enhance domestic resource mobilization as a means of boosting economic growth in Cameroon, the economy does not seem to grow at the same rate. Against this background, this paper empirically assesses the effect of mobilizing various sources of domestic resources on the economic growth of Cameroon. The empirical investigation is carried out using data from the World Bank’s development indicators (WDI, 2014) for Cameroon for the period 1980- 2013. Descriptive statistics and the Instrumental Variable Generalized Method of Moments (IVGMM) were used to analyze the data. The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between the various sources of domestic resources and economic growth in Cameroon. From a policy perspective, an important conclusion is that in addition to implementing tax reforms, measures such as widening the tax base, finding alternative sources of revenue, and institutional reforms are needed for Cameroon to fund its development programmes
