Abstract

Los estudios que pretenden responder si las zonas más prósperas de Colombia crecen a menor ritmo que aquellas con mayor rezago relativo han arrojado resultados dispares. Este documento actualiza las estimaciones de la convergencia beta incondicional del PIB per cápita para los primeros anos del siglo XXI, donde se han observado importantes cambios estructurales. Adicionalmente, el estudio descompone la convergencia beta por cambios sectoriales y mide su estabilidad ante variaciones del ano inicial de comparación. Este análisis se complementó con el estudio de la convergencia de otros indicadores sociales y económicos. Los resultados sugieren una beta creciente, aunque no significativa, indicando una transición de una leve convergencia a un periodo de divergencia. Además, los principales contribuyentes a la convergencia durante mayor parte del período son los sectores de minas y canteras, y el sector público. En contraste, existe evidencia de convergencia de los ingresos fiscales per cápita y una reducción más rápida de la pobreza multidimensional en las zonas con menor pobreza inicial en el último período intercensal. **** ABSTRACT: The studies aiming to answer if wealthier areas in Colombia are growing at a slower pace than poorer areas have yielded mixed results. This chapter updates such estimates of unconditional beta convergence of the GDP per capita for the first years of the 21st century, when substantial changes occurred. Furthermore, we decompose the beta by sectorial changes throughout the period while estimating it with a moving starting year. This assessment was supplemented by a convergence analysis of additional social and economic indicators. Our results suggest an increasing, yet nonsignificant, beta, indicating that Colombia is moving from a subtle convergence to a more frequent period of divergence. Moreover, we find that the primer convergence forces from most of the period are mines and quarrying along with the public sector. In contrast, there is strong evidence of tax revenues per capita convergence and an apparent faster reduction of multidimensional poverty in wealthier areas in the last intercensal period.
