Impacto de la producción de café en las condiciones de vida en los municipios del departamento de Antioquia en el periodo de tiempo de 2011-2017

Abstract

A panel database was used at the municipal level for the period 2011-2017, obtained from the Agronet and Terridata information sources from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MADR) and the National Planning Department (DNP) respectively. With these data, synthetic indicators of living conditions were constructed from the factor analysis to evaluate the impact that coffee production had on the living conditions of coffee municipalities in the department of Antioquia. Through a fixed effects model, the estimation is made and positive evidence is found of the impact that coffee activity has on health and education conditions. The findings are subject to endogeneity due to variables omitted due to the lack of available information, however, they are in line with other studies developed on the subject.
