Abstract

Este documento investiga si el crecimiento económico en el departamento del Cauca determina el incremento de sus importaciones o si por el contrario son las importaciones las que han impulsado el PIB en el periodo 1960-2013. Para lograr este objetivo, se recurre a un modelo SVAR con su previo análisis de cointegración. Se implementa también una función impulso-respuesta para reforzar los hallazgos. Los resultados sugieren que el PIB per cápita del Cauca contemporáneo incide en las importaciones futuras y no viceversa, lo que implica, por ejemplo, que los tratados de libre comercio no son suficientes para impulsar dichas importaciones en el largo plazo.
