“…Another factor related to inequality in rural areas is the lack of infrastructure. Poor rural departments usually have fewer road kilometers built than is the case for other rural areas and for urban areas (Gamarra, 2007). The lack of infrastructure makes it harder to access markets, institutions, and other services and increases transport costs and product prices.…”

“…Associated with the problem of land concentration is underutilization of land, given that 30% of the land dedicated to cultivation is not fully exploited. Land misallocation is also highlighted as a key challenge in the literature, with 71% of cultivable land instead being used to raise cattle (Gamarra, 2007; Rodríguez, 2005).…”

“…The lack of infrastructure makes it harder to access markets, institutions, and other services and increases transport costs and product prices. In extreme cases, it also leads to the isolation of some areas, limiting their production to self‐consumption (Gamarra, 2007; Offstein, 2005; Ortega, 2018). According to Ortega (2018), 67% of the national network consisted of tertiary roads in 2014, but 51% of that network was classified as trails, leaving rural areas inaccessible during the rainy seasons.…”

“…Regarding other assets, Rodríguez (2005) finds that training and secondary education increase quality of life by 4.38% and 3.42%, respectively. Meanwhile, Gamarra (2007) suggests that climatic conditions restrict the number of crops that can be cultivated and presents the specific case of the Colombian Caribbean Coast, where oil palm crops predominate due to their high productivity. Gamarra (2007) also presents the successful example of technology transfer from the private to public sector conducted by CENIPALMA, focusing on providing specific skills and attending to the needs of the poor rural population on the Colombian coast.…”

This article reviews the international literature focusing on territorial disparities to identify key areas of focus through both a traditional and a big data approach considering a highly unequal country: Colombia. First, we use a traditional approach with a manual scan of the literature to provide a structured review and highlight areas of focus and the key findings. We then take a big data approach to identify gaps in the literature. Using the international literature on regional disparities as a point of reference, we identify areas that, compared with international literature, have been understudied in Colombia. We also point to areas that are guaranteed to be subjects of further research to contribute to a better understanding of the challenges related to regional development in Colombia and thus to better informed policy design.

Chocó is among the states with the lowest economic and social indicators in Colombia. This paper describes the economic and social history of its inhabitants. Starting at the colonial period, the analysis allows the comprehension of the productive stages and the institutional scheme that affected the local development trend afterwards. Also, it emphasizes on the historic consequences of its economic model on the individuals' wellbeing. Likewise, it exposes the recent progress in the standard of living. Last but not least, the study posits a relationship between poverty and the idea of natural resource curse. This is explored through various mechanisms of failure in development. The curse is linked to dependence on natural endowments, little economic diversification and competitiveness in the modern economy.

ResumenA pesar de que la pobreza en Colombia se redujo considerablemente en las últimas cuatro décadas, Quibdó es la ciudad capital donde se mantienen los peores indicadores. El presente documento utiliza información cartográfica y espacial para caracterizar la pobreza de las comunas e identificar posibles trampas espaciales de pobreza en la capital chocoana. Los resultados muestran que la zona norte tiene los indicadores de pobreza y violencia más altos en la ciudad. No obstante las grandes inversiones en los últimos cinco años, se registra una persistencia en las condiciones de pobreza en Quibdó. Por ejemplo, el indicador de necesidades básicas insatisfechas continúa por encima del observado en varias ciudades capitales cuatro décadas atrás. Finalmente, el documento propone una opción de inversiones en varios sectores que podría ayudar a cerrar las brechas de pobreza a 2030. Palabras clave: Trampas de pobreza, NBI, Quibdó. Clasificación JEL: I32, I38, R23.  El autor agradece los comentarios y sugerencias de Jaime Bonet, gerente del Banco de la República en Cartagena, y Diana Ricciulli y Javier Pérez, economistas del CEER, en la elaboración de este documento.  Economista del Centro de Estudios Económicos Regionales (CEER) del Banco de la República en Cartagena.

AbstractBesides an overall poverty reduction in Colombia in the last four decades, Quibdó remains as the capital city with the worst indicators. This paper assesses poverty in the communes of the city using spatial information and geographical maps attempting to identify possible spatial poverty traps. The results indicate that the north of the city faces the highest indicators of poverty and violence. Although public investment has increased in the last 5 years, the conditions of poverty persist. For example, the rate of unsatisfied basic needs remain higher than other capital cities four decades ago. To end with, the paper prioritizes investment in several sectors in order to bridge the poverty gap in 2030.
