Abstract

RESUMEN: La estructura de la propiedad de la tierra en Colombia es altamente concentrada, con tendencia a la latifundización y a la microfundización. Aunque se han realizado esfuerzos por implementar reformas agrarias redistributivas, se argumenta, que las élites locales formadas por terratenientes desarrollan diferentes mecanismos de extracción de renta local, desviando las inversiones sociales a otros rubros de mayor beneficio para ellos. Lo anterior lleva a preguntarse sobre los incentivos de los terratenientes por mantener el estatus quo. La presente investigación estudia la relación que existe entre las estructuras de propiedad de la tierra y la inversión social local en Colombia; por medio de estadísticas descriptivas, regresiones por mínimos cuadrados ordinarios, y datos municipales tipo panel entre 2000 a 2010, finalmente, se observa que esta relación es negativa y se compara el comportamiento de esta durante la certificación municipal concluyendo que es un buen mecanismo de control para estas desviaciones. ABSTRACT: The structure of land ownership in Colombia is highly concentrated, with a tendency towards latifundization and micro-foundation. Although efforts have been made to implement redistributive agrarian reforms, it is argued that local elites formed by landowners develop different mechanisms to extract local rents, diverting social investments to other areas of greater benefit to them. This raises a question about landowners' incentives to maintain the status quo. The present research studied the relationship between land ownership structures and local social investment in Colombia; by means of descriptive statistics, ordinary least squares regressions, and municipal panel data between 2000 and 2010, finally, one can see that this relationship is negative, and it is compared to the behavior of this relationship during municipal certification, concluding that it is a good control mechanism for these deviations.
