Abstract
Actualmente existe una nueva estrategia empresarial en donde el sector privado voluntariamente está buscando involucrarse en los temas sociales. Esta estrategia se conoce como Mercadeo Social y consiste básicamente en una actividad comercial en la cual la empresa privada y una entidad sin ánimo de lucro se alían para promover una marca, producto o servicio para mutuo beneficio. Un ejemplo de proyecto de Mercadeo Social en Colombia, consiste en una alianza entre una companía multinacional y la Consejería Presidencial para la Equidad de la Mujer. Este proyecto busca ofrecer el acceso a microcré-ditos a mujeres cabeza de familia microempresarias con el fin de garantizar su independencia económica y en esta medida, luchar contra una de las principales causas de la violencia familiar contra la mujer. Tanto este proyecto como otros ejemplos de Mercadeo Social, promueven proyectos sociales que tienen un impacto directo sobre la sociedad que implica cambios en el bienestar de uno o varios grupos de la población afectados por estos proyectos. El objetivo de este trabajo es aplicar el Modelo de Emparejamiento de la metodología de Evaluación de Impacto al proyecto anteriormente mencionado, para determinar si el mismo ha tenido un impacto positivo para las mujeres beneficiarias en su nivel de ingresos en comparación con mujeres similares que no han sido beneficiarias del mismo. Se espera corroborar a partir de este ejercicio, que dicho proyecto si ha contribuido al bienestar económico y social de muchas mujeres colombianas a la luz de la teoría económica.******Nowadays, there´s a new business strategy in which the private sector is willingly participating in social causes. This strategy is known as Cause Related Marketing and it involves a commercial activity in which a private business and a nongovernmental organization ally in order to promote a brand, a product or a service for mutual benefit. An expample of a Cause Related Marketing proyect in Colombia, is an alliance between a multinational company and the Women´s Equity Presidential Ministry. This project looks forward to offer microcredits to entrepenour head of household women that may lead to their economic independence and through this, contribute to fight one of the main causes of gender violence against women. This project as well as other Cause Related Marketing examples, promote social causes that have a direct impact in society that imply social welfare changes to one or several population groups that are affected by these projects. The purpose of this paper is to use the Propensity Score Model as a Social Welfare Impact Analysis tool in the social project mentioned above, in order to determine wether it has had a positive impact in the income of the women involved in the project in comparison to similar women that have not been part of it. We expect to validate through this analysis, that this project has contributed to the economic welfare of many colombian women according to economic theory.
