Resumo: The article compares the patterns and territorial inequalities in the funding of two social policies that are pillars of the welfare state and present a high degree of territorial decentralization in Spain and Brazil: education and health. The analysis uses specialist literature, national legislation and government documents to describe the policies and their financing mechanisms. Fiscal data are used to analyze subnational government inequalities in the funding of education and health in both countries. The conclusion is that the Spanish experience has significantly leveled spending on health and education between the autonomous communities of common regime, with lower levels of inequality than those observed in Brazilian states and municipalities. The Spanish result derives from an incremental process of improvement of the country’s fiscal federalism, which culminated in a model marked by prioritization and territorial solidarity in the funding of social policies. This model is reference for the analysis and discussion of the Brazilian case, which has configured its fiscal federalism with little concern for reconciling efficiency and equity in the distribution of resources between subnational governments, but which has presented important advances in the reforms of education and health funding.

El análisis utiliza literatura especializada, legislación nacional y documentos gubernamentales para describir las políticas y sus mecanismos de financiación. Los datos fiscales se utilizan para analizar las desigualdades de los gobiernos subnacionales en la financiación de la educación y la sanidad en ambos países. La conclusión es que la experiencia española muestra una alta nivelación del gasto en salud y educación en las comunidades autónomas de régimen común, con niveles de desigualdad inferiores a los observados para los estados y municipios brasileños. El resultado español es fruto de un proceso de mejora y perfeccionamiento del federalismo fiscal que culminó en un modelo marcado por la priorización y la solidaridad territorial en la financiación de las políticas sociales. Este modelo es una referencia para el análisis y la discusión del caso brasileño, que ha configurado su federalismo fiscal con poca preocupación por conciliar la eficiencia y la equidad en la distribución de los recursos entre las entidades gubernamentales, pero que ha presentado importantes avances en las reformas de la financiación de la educación y la sanidad.O presente artigo compara os modelos e as desigualdades territoriais no financiamento de duas políticas sociais pilares do estado de bem-estar social e com alto grau de descentralização territorial na Espanha e no Brasil: educação e saúde. A análise utiliza bibliografia especializada, legislação nacional e documentos governamentais para descrever as políticas e seus mecanismos de financiamento. Dados fiscais são usados para apresentar os gastos e analisar as desigualdades dos governos subnacionais no financiamento da educação e da saúde nos dois países. A conclusão é que a experiência espanhola apresenta elevado nivelamento de gastos em saúde e educação nas comunidades autônomas do regime comum, com patamares menores de desigualdade que o observado nos estados e municípios brasileiros. O resultado espanhol é decorrente de um processo incremental de aperfeiçoamento do federalismo fiscal, que culminou em um modelo marcado pela priorização e solidariedade territorial no financiamento das políticas sociais. Esse modelo é uma referência para a análise e discussão do caso brasileiro, que configurou seu federalismo fiscal com pouca preocupação em conciliar eficiência e equidade na distribuição dos recursos entre os entes governamentais, mas apresentou avanços importantes em reformas no financiamento da educação e da saúde.Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EBAPE)2023-02-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/8876810.1590/0034-761220220168Brazilian Journal of Public Administration; Vol. 57 No. 1 (2023); e2022-0168Revista de Administração Pública; Vol. 57 Núm. 1 (2023); e2022-0168Revista de Administração Pública; v. 57 n. 1 (2023); e2022-01681982-31340034-7612reponame:Revista de Administração Públicainstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/88768/83439https://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/88768/83440Soares, Marcia MirandaMurillo, Encarnación GarcíaCarbonell, Jesús Ruiz-Huertainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-02-23T21:39:56Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/88768Revistahttps://ebape.fgv.br/publicacoes/rapONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||rap@fgv.br1982-31340034-7612opendoar:2023-02-23T21:39:56Revista de Administração Pública - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
