Abstract

La agricultura ha sido históricamente una actividad prioritaria en Colombia. Sus progresos han dependido primordialmente de aumentos en la productividad, la cual parece estar correlacionada con los bienes públicos del sector. En el trabajo se estima y analizan las coberturas de los principales bienes de infraestructura y evalúan sus efectos sobre el rendimiento de dieciséis 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. También revela que el mejor acceso a los centros de acopio para su comercialización y el sistema de carreteras terciarias impacta positivamente el desempeño de la mayor parte de los cultivos. Una reasignación de los recursos del Estado hacia la provisión de infraestructura rural es crucial para el desarrollo agrícola del país.
