Why internal conflict deteriorates state capacity? Evidence from Colombian municipalities

Previous work has documented a negative correlation between internal conflict and state capacity. We attempt to shed light on mechanisms that underlie this relationship, using data for Colombian municipalities. We rely on identifying heterogeneous effects of different types of violent events on stat...

We attempt to shed light on mechanisms that underlie this relationship, using data for Colombian municipalities. We rely on identifying heterogeneous effects of different types of violent events on state capacity, taking advantage of variability across municipalities in the prevalence of specific manifestations of conflict and their intensity. Our findings suggest that events making civilians feel targeted affect the state's capacity to collect taxes, while those reflecting a stronger military capacity of illegal armies, in particular their large-scale attacks, affect the state's capacity to provide public goods.Una correlación negativa entre la ocurrencia de conflictos internos y la capacidad estatal ha sido previamente documentada. Este trabajo investiga algunos posibles mecanismos de transmisión detrás de tal relación, valiéndose de datos sobre conflicto y gobierno en los municipios colombianos, entre 1993 y 2002. Nuestra estrategia descansa sobre la potencial heterogeneidad de los efectos de distintas manifestaciones del conflicto sobre medidas de capacidad gubernamental, y aprovecha la variabilidad entre municipios colombianos en términos de las manifestaciones del conflicto y su intensidad. Los resultados sugieren que eventos violentos que crean entre los civiles la percepción de ser blancos directos del conflicto afectan la capacidad del gobierno para recoger impuestos, mientras que ataques que pueden ser contra la infraestructura civil o militar disminuyen el gasto público en bienes públicos.33 páginasapplication/pdfengUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 59 Diciembre de 2013https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/011940.htmlWhy internal conflict deteriorates state capacity?
