Abstract

Este artículo muestra evidencia del rol del sistema vial sobre la reducción de las disparidades económicas en una economía en desarrollo, con fuertes y generales problemas de desigualdad como Colombia. Con el soporte teórico de una reformulación del modelo de Krugman (1991) que incluye densidades viales primarias, secundarias y terciarias, se lleva a cabo la estimación de una ecuación de convergencia condicional espacial para 125 municipios del departamento de Antioquia. Las estimaciones sugieren que las densidades viales secundarias tienen mayor efecto sobre la reducción de las disparidades económicas del departamento. ****** This paper shows evidence of the role of the road system in reducing economic disparities in a developing economy, with strong and general inequality problems such as those found in Colombia. Under the theoretical support of a reformulation of the Krugman model (1991) with primary, secondary and tertiary road densities, an estimate of a spatial conditional convergence equation is carried out for 125 municipalities in the department of Antioquia (Colombia). Estimates suggest that secondary road densities have a greater effect on reducing the economic disparities of the department. ****** Este artigo mostra evidencias do papel do sistema viário na reducao das disparidades economicas em uma economia em desenvolvimento, com problemas de desigualdade fortes e gerais, como a Colombia.

As estimativas sugerem que as densidades viárias secundárias tem um efeito maior na reducao das disparidades economicas no departamento.
