Abstract

Este trabajo pretende contestar dos preguntas: la primera sobre cómo sería La Guajira sin la contribución de la producción del carbón y la segunda sobre cuál habría sido el desempeno del departamento hasta hoy, en ausencia de la explotación del mineral. Se analizan los efectos de una suspensión súbita de la actividad carbonera en el departamento y el tiempo que tomaría reconfigurar la economía mediante los aportes de otras actividades. Se muestra también el efecto de la pérdida del aporte de Carrejón en las finanzas nacionales y territoriales. Al respecto del análisis contra-factual, se adopta un método de comparación de trayectorias con otros departamentos que mostraran condiciones iniciales similares y se concluye que hay una path dependance en que la situación inicial, con sus brechas respecto del resto de la nación, se perpetúa ante la ausencia de una intención pública de cambiar la situación existente en el punto de partida o de modificar la trayectoria, la velocidad y el patrón de especialización de las economías seleccionadas.
