El PIB se usa habitualmente como aproximación al bienestar de las personas. Sin embargo otros aspectos sociales deben ser a su vez considerados, como la esperanza de vida, la mortalidad infantil, la educación y la criminalidad. Este trabajo investiga ña convergencia económica y social en regiones de Colombia en el período 1975-2005. Los principales resultados confirman que existe convergencia en Colombia en variables sociales clave, aunque no en la clásica variable económica, el PIB per capita. También se encuentra que la autocorrelación espacial refuerza los procesos de convergencia a través de la profundización de los factores sociales y de mercado, mientras que el aislamiento condena a las regiones a la no convergencia.
GDP has usually been used as a proxy for human well-being. Nevertheless, other social aspects should also be considered, such as life expectancy, infant mortality, educational enrolment and crime issues. This paper investigates economic and social convergence between regions in Colombia, in the period 1975-2005. The main results confirm that there is convergence in Colombia in key social variables, although not in the classic economic variable, GDP per capita. It is also found that spatial autocorrelation reinforces convergence processes through deepening market and social factors, while isolation condemns regions to non-convergence.
