Abstract

Se evalúa la llamada hipótesis de convergencia condicionada en el período 1975-2005 entre los departamentos de Colombia. Se utilizarán dos metodologías. La primera, de carácter paramétrico, consiste en la estimación de una ecuación de convergencia por medio de un modelo dinámico de panel de datos. Como complemento, se lleva a cabo un análisis de estimación no paramétrico de la distribución del ingreso per cápita de los departamentos a través de kerneles estocásticos. A pesar de que en el primer experimento la estimación sugiere un proceso de convergencia lento entre departamentos similares cercano al 1.5% por año, la dinámica de la distribución muestra persistencia y polarización, lo cual sugiere que no es la hipótesis de convergencia condicionada, sino la de clubes de convergencia la que caracteriza la dinámica de crecimiento de las regiones.
