CONGOTE OCHOA, Bernardo  y  GARCIA SIERRA, Jaime. TWO HYPOTHESIS ABOUT THE IMPACT OF SUBSIDIES TO IRRIGATION SYSTEMS OVER THE LAND CULTIVATION FORMS. THE CASE OF ALTO CHICAMOCHA (BOYACA, COLOMBIA). Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2014, vol.33, n.62, pp.259-295. ISSN 0121-4772.  https://doi.org/10.15446/cuad.econ.v33n62.43676.

The article proofs a traditionalist hypothesis based upon arguments such as public investment to congeal the rural-urban dynamics or retaining rural population linked to the exploitation of smallholding rural systems and also proofs a modernist hypothesis based upon concepts such as social necessary work, social costs, effective demand and factors mobility. Finally the article combines its critics with a case data taken from the Alto Chicamocha, Boyaca, Colombia´s zone (which measures before 1999, 2001 and 2010) and so falsifies the traditionalist hypothesis and validates the modernist, formulating some conclusions and recommendations.
