Biofuel Production and Rural Employment in Colombia 2009-2015

This paper estimates the effect of the biofuel mixing policy on the Colombian rural employment. To this end, we apply an empirical methodology based on autoregressive vectors –VAR–. This one allows us to estimate the short-run employment elasticity and to simulate its evolution when biofuel or its p...

To this end, we apply an empirical methodology based on autoregressive vectors –VAR–. This one allows us to estimate the short-run employment elasticity and to simulate its evolution when biofuel or its prices suffer a positive shock. We construct a monthly database that contains production, prices, and employment levels during 2009-2015 in Colombia. Underlying empirical structure and how elasticity can be estimated in vector models will be studied, and finally we analyze biofuel promotion policy and its effects on jobs. The estimated dynamic correlations show that there is no appreciable effect on the employment levels when there are variations in biofuels production and prices levels.Este trabajo de investigación estima el efecto de la política de mezcla de biocombustibles sobre la generación de empleo rural en Colombia, a través de la aplicación de la metodología empírica basada en vectores autorregresivos (VAR), para estimar la elasticidad del nivel de empleo y simular su comportamiento cuando la producción y los precios de biocombustibles o combustibles fósiles sufren variaciones. Se construye una base de datos que contiene nivel de producción, precios y empleo con periodicidad mensual entre 2009 y 2015 en Colombia. Se estudia la estructura empírica subyacente y la manera como se puede estimar la elasticidad en modelos vectoriales, finalmente se analiza la política de promoción de los biocombustibles y sus efectos sobre la generación de empleo. Las correlaciones dinámicas estimadas muestran que no existe un efecto apreciable sobre el nivel de empleo cuando hay variaciones en los niveles de producción y precios de los biocombustibles.application/pdftext/xmlspaspaUniversidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombiahttps://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cenes/article/view/10426/9841https://revistas.uptc.edu.co/index.php/cenes/article/view/10426/11557Copyright (c) 2020 Jorge Barrientos Marin, Carlos Andrés Vasco Correahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf336http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Apuntes del Cenes; Vol. 39 No. 70 (2020); 233-260Apuntes del Cenes; Vol. 39 Núm. 70 (2020); 233-2602256-57790120-3053economic planning; economic policy; energy policy; employment; energy economics; biofuels; VAR models;planificación económica; política económica; política energética; empleo; economía de la energía; biocombustibles; modelos VAR;Biofuel Production and Rural Employment in Colombia 2009-2015Producción de biocombustibles y empleo rural en Colombia 2009-2015info:eu-repo/semantics/articlePeer reviewed Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6835http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a419http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Barrientos Marin, JorgeVasco Correa, Carlos Andrés001/12024oai:repositorio.uptc.edu.co:001/120242025-07-18 12:13:42.308metadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uptc.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UPTCrepositorio.uptc@uptc.edu.co
