Given that regional statistics are lacking, the methodology proposed by Gerber (2003) is used to calculate the economic growth of the regions. And to measure the impact of infrastructure on growth, based on Hoechle (2007) a fixed-effects model with standard errors of Driscoll and Kraay (DKSE) is applied. The results indicate that investment in infrastructure has been insufficient and misallocated; however, the social infrastructure shows the greatest impact on growth. Finally, the results suggest that the most dynamic regions require greater investment in economic infrastructure, while the backward regions need social infrastructure. 2018 artículo científico 1657-4206 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=329056089001 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3290/329056089001/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3290/329056089001/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3290/329056089001/329056089001.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3290/329056089001/movil 10.17230/ecos.2018.46.1 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3290 Ecos de Economía application/pdf Universidad EAFIT Ecos de Economía (Colombia) Num.46 Vol.22 |
