Abstract
Se intentan medir los beneficios y costes fiscales de la relación entre las colonias
americanas y España en el período de 1760 a 1814 a partir de una serie de
nuevas estimaciones de los montos anuales de las remesas fiscales americanas.
Se discuten los varios componentes de los beneficios fiscales que recibía la
tesorería metropolitana, incluyendo las transferencias en metálico y en especie
(tabaco de Cuba). Se argumenta que la contribución americana a los ingresos
ordinarios metropolitanos aumentó en términos absolutos y relativos entre
1790 y 1810.
The essay measures the fiscal costs and benefits of colonialism both for the Spanish American colonies and for Spain in the períod 1760-1814 using new estimates of the annual transfers from the colonies to the metropolitan treasury. The various components of the fiscal benefits for the metropolis are analyzed, including not only the transfer of silver but also large shipments of tobáceo leaf from Cuba. It is argued that the American contribution to the ordinary income of the Spanish government increased in absolute and relative terms in the period 1790-1810.
