Abstract

La agricultura ha sido hist�ricamente una actividad prioritaria en Colombia. Sus progresos han dependido primordialmente de aumentos en la productividad, la cual parece estar correlacionada con los bienes p�blicos del sector. En el trabajo se estima y analizan las coberturas de los principales bienes de infraestructura y eval�an sus efectos sobre el rendimiento de diecis�is cultivos cosechados en diversas regiones. Utilizando modelos de emparejamiento (Propensity Score Matching) se encuentra que una tercera parte de los cultivos se ha beneficiado de los distritos de riego y drenaje. Tambi�n revela que el mejor acceso a los centros de acopio para su comercializaci�n y el sistema de carreteras terciarias impacta positivamente el desempe�o de la mayor parte de los cultivos. Una reasignaci�n de los recursos del Estado hacia la provisi�n de infraestructura rural es crucial para el desarrollo agr�cola del pa�s.
