Objective
Analyze the differential characteristics that justify the differentiated budgetary situation of the City Council of Barcelona with respect to other Catalan and Spanish municipalities. The ultimate objective of the study is to find out if this differential situation is due to the socio-economic characteristics of the city of Barcelona, and / or to what extent this "differential effect" can be influenced by the "management model" of the city of Barcelona in relation to other Catalan and Spanish municipalities.
Methodology
The work methodology is to make a comparative analysis of all the variables, which allow us to find out the differential effects in the financial situation of Barcelona with respect to other cities. Socioeconomic indicators of the municipalities under study are analyzed, as well as, mainly, double-digit revenue and expenditure chapters of municipal budgets. The period analyzed goes from 1991 to 2015.
