Néstor Luis Pérez (1936-1938) and Manuel Rafael Egaña (1938-1941 y 1949), Ministers under the government of López Contreras (1936-1941), did important contributions to the development of the oil institutional framework after Gómez died in December 1935. These ministers had to face the lawsuits of almost all the oil companies against the Venezuelan state since 1937 because the government had enacted the 1936 hydrocarbons and other mineral fuels law. With it, the Venezuelan state tried to suppress the free duties on imports that have prevailed before the law. Even though the Venezuelan state lost all lawsuits, these Ministers did find the correct mechanisms to compensate the formal judicial fiasco. With these informal mechanisms, they got the success that the state needed in order to perform the institutional change the country was asking for, in terms of compelling oil companies to pay taxes not particularly related to the oil activities (import duties).

Los ministros Néstor Luis Pérez (1936-1938) y Manuel Rafael Egaña (1938-1941 y 1949) en el gobierno de López Contreras (1936-1941) hicieron importantes contribuciones al desarrollo del marco institucional petrolero después de la muerte de Gómez en diciembre de 1935. La gestión de estos ministros tuvo que enfrentar las demandas que las compañías petroleras internacionales ejercieron en bloque contra la nación desde 1937, a raíz de la promulgación de la Ley sobre Hidrocarburos y demás Minerales Combustibles de 1936. Con esa ley, el Estado intentó suprimir la exoneración de derecho de importación a las concesiones anteriores a esa ley. A pesar de que la nación perdió todas las demandas entre 1938 y 1941, Pérez y Egaña lograron encontrar los mecanismos adecuados para compensar esas derrotas jurídicas formales. Con esos mecanismos informales lograron promocionar los éxitos que desesperadamente necesitaba el Estado venezolano para configurar el cambio institucional que el país estaba pidiendo en cuanto a obligar a las compañías internacionales a someterse a un régimen de impuestos no específicamente petroleros (derechos de importación). Aquí se examina ese proceso que allanó el camino para el espectacular éxito de la posterior Ley de Hidrocarburos de 1943 desde el enfoque neoinstitucional de Douglass North. 2012-06-22 2020-06-16T22:42:48Z 2020-06-16T22:42:48Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.usantotomas.edu.co/index.php/cife/article/view/809 10.15332/s2248-4914.2012.0020.02 http://hdl.handle.net/11634/26541 spa https://revistas.usantotomas.edu.co/index.php/cife/article/view/809/1092 application/pdf Universidad Santo Tomás Revista CIFE: Lecturas de Economía Social; Vol. 14 No. 20 (2012); 27 Revista CIFE: Lecturas de Economía Social; Vol. 14 Núm. 20 (2012); 27 2248-4914 0124-3551
