Abstract

En este artículo se examina la existencia de una posible correlación entre cultivos de palma de aceite y el desplazamiento forzado en Colombia. Este análisis se plantea con la perspectiva de la econometría espacial porque se identificó autocorrelación y clústeres en las variables entre las unidades geográficas municipales. Por ello se emplea la estrategia regresión geográficamente ponderada, la cual estima ecuaciones municipales que tienen en cuenta el comportamiento de las variables en los municipios vecinos. Como resultado se encontró un patrón de relación directa entre cultivos de palma y desplazamiento en unidades geográficas en el cual los cultivos se impulsaron en la última década. Se debe aclarar que este artículo no evalúa aún la relación de causalidad entre las variables, aspecto que requiere nuevos datos y ajustes metodológicos. ***** This article examines the existence of a possible correlation between oil palm plantations and forced displacement in Colombia. The analysis is carried out using spatial econometrics, as we identified autocorrelation and clusters in the variables between municipal geographic units. We employed Geographically Weighted Regression techniques to estimate municipal equations that incorporate the behavior of the variables in the neighboring units. We found a direct relationship between African palm cultivation and displacement in areas where the crop had been promoted during the last decade. The research has not yet evaluated the causal relationship between the variables, as this would require new data and methodological adjustments. ***** Dans cet article nous examinons l’existence d’une possible corrélation entre la culture du palmier a huile et le déplacement forcé en Colombie. Cette analyse se situe dans la perspective de l’économétrie spatiale car une autocorrélation et des clusters ont été identifiés dans les variables entre les unités géographiques municipales. Pour cela nous utilisons la stratégie de régression géographiquement pondérée qui considere des équations municipales qui prennent en compte le comportement des memes variables dans les municipalités voisines. Comme résultat, nous trouvons un patron de relation directe entre les cultures de palmier a huile et le déplacement dans des unités géographiques ou ces cultures se sont développées au cours des dix dernieres années. Il convient de préciser que cet article n’évalue pas encore la relation de causalité entre les variables, ce qui requiert de nouvelles données et des ajustements méthodologiques.
