Abstract

El presente documento estudia las disparidades económicas regionales en Colombia. Para ello se calculan cinco medidas a partir de los datos de Producto Interno Bruto, PIB, per-cápita departamental y se comparan con las de otros países. Sobre la misma variable se hace un análisis de dependencia espacial en las regiones colombianas. Los principales resultados son: Primero, el PIB per-cápita de los departamentos más pobres estaba en 1980 alrededor del 45% del de Colombia, en el año 2000 esa proporción aún era la misma; segundo, las diferentes medidas de disparidad, en su mayoría, muestran un aumento de las disparidades en la década de 1990; tercero, se encuentra evidencia sobre la existencia de convergencia de los niveles de ingreso en la década de 1980, pero no en la década de 1990, en la que las disparidades han aumentado considerablemente ante la ausencia de una política regional explícita y clara; cuarto, se concluye que el PIB per-cápita departamental no muestra patrones de dependencia espacial de ningún tipo, por lo que se puede afirmar que la riqueza o pobreza está aleatoriamente distribuida en la geografía nacional. Por último, se muestra que las disparidades que presenta Colombia no son particularmente altas si se comparan con las de otros países.
