Abstract

La desigualdad en los ingresos, la pobreza y la violencia han sido asociadas en la teoría aunque actualmente no existe una evidencia causal sólida sobre las relaciones entre estas en los países en desarrollo. El trabajo utiliza datos municipales de 1993 y 2005 para estimar el vínculo entre la pobreza y la desigualdad con la violencia. El modelo usado es Tobit, constituido por variables instrumentales que permiten solucionar los problemas de causalidad inversa. Los resultados muestran que en el período analizado un incremento de un punto porcentual en el coeficiente de Gini se traduce en un aumento del 4% en la tasa de homicidios por cada 100.000 habitantes, mientras que en la pobreza la tasa se incrementa un 7%
