Abstract
El estudio de la convergencia regional en Colombia inició hace más de 20 anos. La discusión académica ha sido extensa, pero sus resultados presentan poco consenso debido a diferencias en metodologías y periodos de estudio, entre otros factores. En este trabajo se lleva a cabo una revisión de los principales métodos y hallazgos realizados por la literatura nacional, utilizando cuatro definiciones alternativas de convergencia: 1) Convergencia Ss, 2) Convergencia s, 3) Convergencia en series de tiempo y 4) Convergencia en la distribución. En general, la literatura nacional que implementa las primeras dos metodologías suele presentar resultados mixtos. No obstante, definiciones posteriores de convergencia han resultado en un mayor consenso académico. Usando cifras departamentales para los últimos 20 anos, se presentan algunos ejercicios empíricos con cada uno de los enfoques anteriores. En particular, la distribución de la riqueza regional ha presentado pocas variaciones en el tiempo, fenómeno que se conoce en la literatura como persistencia. ******ABSTRACT: The study of regional convergence in Colombia started more than 20 years ago. The academic discussion has been extensive and its conclusions are diverse. This document revises the main methodologies and findings proposed by the Colombian literature, using four different definitions of convergence: 1) Ss convergence; 2) s convergence; 3) Time series convergence and 4) Distribution dynamics. In general, the studies that implement the first two approaches generate mixed results. Nonetheless, the utilization of a recent definition of convergence provides more homogenous results. Using regional data for the last 20 years, we apply the former definitions of convergence for the case of Colombian departments. Output distribution across regions has not varied significantly in time, a circumstance that is often referred to in the literature as economic persistence.
