Abstract

Resumen: Este trabajo tiene por objetivo determinar si existe convergencia en la actividad económica de los municipios de Colombia, medida por medio de los Ingresos Tributarios per cápita, para el periodo 1985-2010. Con este fin se realiza un análisis exploratorio de datos espaciales, elaborando los indicadores de Moran Global y Local; además, se construye la Matriz de Markov del Moran Local, donde se encuentra autocorrelación espacial positiva entre los municipios del país, sobresaliendo las Áreas Metropolitanas ubicadas en Cundinamarca y Antioquia. Por otro lado, se testea la hipótesis de convergencia no condicional mediante estimaciones de convergencia clásica, en primera medida, para luego incluir explícitamente la dependencia espacial en el modelo de regresión. De esta forma, se concluye que hay convergencia en los municipios colombianos para el periodo analizado, llegado a una velocidad de convergencia aproximada de 3,34% anual. Abstract : This paper aims to determine whether there is any convergence at all between the economic activities of the Colombian municipalities, measured by the per capita tax revenues of each one, for the period 1985-2010. To this end, an exploratory spatial data analysis is performed, calculating the local and global Moran indicators, as well as the Markov Matrix of the local Moran. Positive spatial autocorrelation is found between Colombian municipalities, being the metropolitan areas located in Cundinamarca and Antioquia examples of outstanding performance. This way, it is concluded that there is convergence between the Colombian municipalities for the period analyzed, reaching an approximate convergence speed of 3.34% per annum.
