Abstract

ResumenEste documento analiza la problemática de la convergencia departamental en Colombia en el período 1975-2005. No existe un estudio donde se muestre la posible formación de clubs o grupos de convergencia a nivel departamental. Para ello se propone la estimación de una ecuación de convergencia con efectos fijos individuales, se calculan los estados estacionarios de equilibrio de cada departamento atendiendo al valor de estos efectos fijos individuales y se definen clubes de convergencia atendiendo a la similitud de los respectivos estados estacionarios. Entre los principales hallazgos se encuentra que: existe evidencia para sugerir un proceso de formación de 4 clubes de regiones caracterizadas por factores económicos similares. Los dos primeros grupos están formados por los departamentos más desarrolladas, por el contrario, los dos últimos, están formados por las regiones más pobres. AbstractThis document analyzes the problems of the departmental convergence in Colombia between the periods of 1975-2005. A study does not exist where there shows the possible formation of clubs or groups of convergence at departmental level. For that is proposed the estimation of convergence equation with individual effect fixed, calculating stationary state from equilibrium to each department to pay attention to valor of this individual effect fixed and to define convergence clubs to pay attention the similarity of each stationary state. Among the main findings we can mention the following: there exists evidence to suggest a process of formation of four regional clubs characterized by similar economic factors. The first two groups make up the most developed departments, while the last two make up poorest regions.
