Spanish Abstract: En Colombia las minas han sido usadas por los grupos armados ilegales para proteger los cultivos de coca y controlar el territorio. Nuestro trabajo es el primero en explorar los efectos del Desminado Humanitario sobre los cultivos de coca en Colombia. A traves de un modelo de diferencias en diferencias con variacion de tratamiento en el tiempo, encontramos que el Desminado reduce, en promedio, las hectareas de cultivos de coca en 24,80% en el corto plazo y en 44,01% en el largo plazo. No podemos asegurar con certeza estadistica que la reduccion de los cultivos se deba a un aumento en los esfuerzos estatales antinarcoticos. Nuestros resultados sugieren que el Desminado mejora las condiciones de seguridad y de acceso, y permite nuevas actividades economicas en los territorios. English Abstract: In Colombia, landmines have been used by illegal armed groups to protect coca crops and control the territory. Our paper is the first to explore the effects of Humanitarian Demining on coca crops in Colombia. Through a model of differences in differences with variation in treatment timing, we find that Demining reduces, on average, hectares of coca crops by 24.80% in the short term and 44.01% in the long term. We cannot assure with statistical certainty that crop reduction is due to an increase in anti-narcotics state efforts. Our results suggest that Demining improves security and access conditions and allows new economic activities in the territories.
