Abstract

This paper studies the evidence on regional convergence in the last two decades. The results point to a high degree of persistence in regional inequalities. This was confirmed through the analysis of spatial econometrics, which showed that there is a strong spatial dependence in the distribution of poverty in Colombia. The results show that it may take more than two centuries for Choco to catch-up with Bogota´s per capita income. RESUMEN: En este trabajo se analiza la evidencia sobre convergencia regional en las dos últimas décadas. Los resultados tienden a confirmar un alto grado de persistencia en las desigualdades regionales. Estos hallazgos fueron reforzados a través del análisis de econometría espacial, donde se corroboró que hay una marcada dependencia espacial en la distribución de la pobreza en Colombia. De acuerdo con los resultados, el grado de persistencia en la pobreza es tal que el Chocó tendría un rezago en el ingreso de más de dos siglos, en relación a Bogotá.
