Description
Summary:The purpose of this paper is to analyze theoreti-cally and empirically the link between growth and income inequality in Colombia by regions. Economic heterogeneities and socioeconomic indi-cators are considered in the inquiry of that rela-tion. Per capita household income by department is considered as a reference of microeconomic welfare, Gini coefficient and Theil index are es-timated as inequality indicators, the period from 2002 to 2016 is studied, and different econometric specifications are estimated to check consistency and robustness in the results. According with the estimations, the link between growth and income inequality in Colombia, at regional level, is not plain to understand because the results change depend on specification and methodology estimated.
