Kidnaps and migration : evidence from Colombia

Using a unique data set from the major Colombian cities collected between 2000-2003 and with information on more than 16,000 households, this paper studies the relationship between the kidnap risk a household faces with its migration decisions. We find evidence that exposure to such risk induces hou...

We find evidence that exposure to such risk induces households to react sending some of their members to an international destination but not necessarily to a domestic one. This finding is robust to the inclusion of several household characteristics usual in the migration literature and an alternative measure of kidnap risk.

Encontramos evidencia que la exposición a dicho riesgo induce a los hogares a enviar al menos uno de sus miembros a un destino internacional pero no a uno nacional. Este resultado es robusto a la inclusión de los controles generalmente utilizados en la literatura de migración y a medidas alternativas en el riesgo de ser secuestrado. El resultado encontrado implica que durante estos años se pudo presentar una "fuga de cerebros" del país debido a este tipo de crimen.41 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 08 Marzo de 2010Kidnaps and migration : evidence from ColombiaSecuestros y migración : evidencia de ColombiaDocumento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPSecuestro - ColombiaVíctimas de secuestro - ColombiaMigraciones internasO15, 054KidnapsMigrationFacultad de EconomíaPublicationORIGINALdcede2010-08.pdfdcede2010-08.pdfapplication/pdf854358https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/e7e74ba7-e6a7-4466-95cc-e44fad366cad/download9048502b333bbbc5af18dd603c574850MD51TEXTdcede2010-08.pdf.txtdcede2010-08.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain71176https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/1d91c80d-f670-470d-8a96-965f5808cb21/downloadb01b57ea0a210d61d40249aeb430fa1fMD54THUMBNAILdcede2010-08.pdf.jpgdcede2010-08.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg4346https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/d94a9f48-26e2-4c58-ac85-38cee336181c/downloadb3e227fd9e943e1726149b08070d9807MD551992/8159oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/81592024-06-04 15:32:22.388http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
