Abstract

The aim of this article is to identify taxes effect (direct and indirect) on sectors of Colombia's economy. For this, it followed the line of work of Dietzenbacher & Romero (2007) which allows tracing the effects of one sector on another from calculation of the average propagation length (APL) which uses as input from the Input-Product Matrix (MIP-symmetric, product to product, basic prices, 2010). The main conclusion is a high asymmetry in the transmission of the tax effect among sectors.
