Introducción: Este estudio analiza la relación entre el gasto público y el desarrollo económico urbano en ciudades ecuatorianas, específicamente en cómo el gasto de inversión impacta el crecimiento económico. Metodología: Se utiliza un modelo de datos de panel para estudiar 19 ciudades estratificadas por tamaño, analizando la correlación entre el gasto corriente e inversión. Resultados: El gasto en inversión tiene un impacto positivo significativo en el crecimiento económico, particularmente en las ciudades metropolitanas, mientras que el gasto corriente presenta efectos variables según el nivel de desarrollo. Conclusiones: Una gestión eficiente y estratégica del gasto público es esencial para el desarrollo local. Se recomienda promover mayor autonomía municipal y mejorar la coordinación intergubernamental.
