COTTE POVEDA, Alexander  and  CASTRO REBOLLEDO, María del Rosario. POVERTY, VIOLENCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE PROVINCE OF SUGAMUXI: AN ANALYSIS FOR THE PERIOD 2000-2010 (T0). rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.1, pp.26-37. ISSN 1657-4702.

This research has as objective to analyze the determinants of violence that have an impact on the economic development of the municipalities of the Sugamuxi province between 2000 and 2010. The methodology used was based in the construction of a datummodel dynamic panel, with different estimates that capture the effects and evolution of human capital, the production influence per capita, the violence variables, the poverty and its different effects over the economic development of the municipalities. It was found that the different estimated models confirm the hypothesis that violence has a negative influence on the economic development of the municipalities of the Sugamuxi province, which corroborate the evidence and the effects of violence over development. The results suggest that the different ways of violence have perverse effects on the development; meanwhile the different levels of education have a positive impact on the economic development of the municipalities.

Keywords : Poverty; economic growth; violence and economy; panel data; Colombia.
