Abstract
Las disrupciones de conectividad en la infraestructura vial se transmiten con rapidez a la formación de precios de los alimentos. Este documento cuantifica el efecto de los cierres de la vía Bogotá-Villavicencio, corredor que articula la Orinoquía con los principales centros de consumo del país, sobre los precios de los alimentos en Colombia. Se construye una base de datos en panel a partir del Sistema de Información de Precios y Abastecimiento del Sector Agropecuario (SIPSA) del DANE, enlazada con registros del Instituto Nacional de Vías (INVIAS) sobre episodios de cierre para el periodo 2014 a 2024. Mediante estimaciones de panel con efectos fijos por producto y mercado con controles temporales, el estudio documenta incrementos estadísticamente significativos en los precios durante los cierres, consistentes con mayores costos logísticos y restricciones de abastecimiento. Los resultados indican que las disrupciones en corredores estratégicos inciden de manera inmediata en el bienestar del consumidor y respaldan la necesidad de estrategias de gestión del riesgo y de fortalecimiento de la resiliencia de la infraestructura vial.*****ABSTRACT: Connectivity disruptions in transport infrastructure quickly pass through to the formation of food prices. This paper quantifies the effect of closures on the Bogotá–Villavicencio Road, a corridor that links the Orinoquía region with the country’s main consumption centers, on food prices in Colombia. A panel dataset is constructed from the Agricultural Sector Price and Supply Information System (SIPSA, in Spanish) of DANE, linked to records from the National Institute of Roads (INVIAS, in Spanish) on closure episodes for the 2014–2024 period. Using panel estimations with product and market fixed effects and time controls, the study documents statistically significant price increases during closures, consistent with higher logistics costs and supply constraints. The results indicate that disruptions in strategic corridors have an immediate impact on consumer welfare and support the need for risk‑management strategies and the strengthening of road‑infrastructure resilience.
