Incidencia entre la tasa de criminalidad, violencia y su relación con el crecimiento económico de Colombia (2000-2016)

Abstract

research work focused on the growth theory developed by Hofstetter (1998) , which incorporated the costs of violent crimes and their implications for Colombia's economic growth. It is intended to provide a broad view on the issue of crime and the impact of this variable on economic development at the departmental level for the years 2000 and 2016, taking into account that Colombia is a country that has experienced an armed conflict for more than half a century, which has had repercussions on the country's economy. An econometric panel model was proposed, which allows examining and exposing the incidence of the crime rate and violence, and the impact of these variables on economic growth in Colombia at the departmental level. The crime rate reflected by the homicide rate per 100 thousand inhabitants, the employment rate, the total number of students enrolled per department per year, the poverty rate, the GDP rate per department, and the variable armed conflict will be included. that it would be represented by the totality of attacks to civilians by the FARC, and thus be able to have a model that can explain in the best way the incidence of these variables in the economic growth in Colombia, especially the homicides and the variable armed conflict.
