“…Coefficient β 2 measures the impact of imported input duties on export quantities and is expected to be negative, as has been supported by literature regarding trade policy and export performance in Colombia (Echavarría et al, 2019;Giraldo, 2015). β 3 is, accordingly, our main parameter of interest, and it would be capturing the marginal and additional impact of changes in tariffs and vat for siep beneficiaries.…”

Using a generalized difference-in-differences approach, this study draws on a firmcountry-product-year level database covering imports and exports from Colombia to study how duty exemptions on imported goods affect export performance. The impactwas estimated depending on the intensity exposure using the Colombian duty drawback policy —Plan Vallejo. Results suggest that input-duty reduction leads to rises in the export quantities and number of varieties, especially for products not benefited by the policy; however, the scheme allows firms to accentuate the negative impact of customs duty increases. The estimated tariff revenue leakage of the duty exemptions is non-negligible in terms of the country’s GDP.

“…For Colombia, both Echavarría et al (2019) and Esguerra and Ulloa (2016) suggest that, to boost GVC linkages, tariffs must be lowered and barriers to FDI must be removed. The impact of lower and less heterogenous tariffs on market selection and productivity in Colombia has been documented for the manufacturing sector by Eslava et al (2004Eslava et al ( , 2013.…”

“…First, in terms of tariff barriers for imports, the mean tariff level across goods and services-at 8%-is not substantially above that observed across the countries that belong to the World Trade Organization (WTO), but the sectoral dispersion and heterogeneity is substantial. For example, Echavarría et al (2019) estimate that the nominal and effective tariffs on agricultural products are double those in manufacturing. They conclude that not only tariffs but also effective protection rates have a very high standard deviation by international standards.…”

It is clear that in the transition out of the COVID-19 crisis in Colombia there will be great need for formal job creation. One source that has been widely discussed in policy circles is strengthening linkages of Colombian firms with Global Value Chains (GVCs). Another source that has received recent attention, and deservedly so, is digital infrastructure development (DID)—which can boost telework and virtual human capital accumulation. Reduction in poverty and inequality through more and better formal employment is an important aspect of a jobs and economic transformation (JET) agenda. In this paper, we explore—through a computable general equilibrium model (CGE) and a microsimulation framework—to what extent reforms of the type envisioned in the JET agenda and which could generate GVC linkages, as well as through DID, for Colombia, and we project their impact on poverty and inequality up to 2030. Our findings show limited impact of the three types of policy changes considered for GVCs—namely (i) fall in barriers for seamless business logistics, (ii) reductions in tariffs, and (iii) lower barriers to foreign direct investment (FDI). The impact of DID on inequality is also moot. There is however a modest impact on poverty reduction in the combined policy of digital infrastructure with a boost in skilled labor. This finding can be linked to different factors. First, there are relatively few direct jobs created to benefit households with low levels of human capital. Second, there might be indirect job creation through backward linkages to local suppliers by firms linked to GVCs, but this effect would be a general equilibrium effect that our CGE model with a partial equilibrium microsimulation distributional module does not fully capture. Third, the positioning of Colombian firms to latch onto GVCs, and also generate demand for local intermediate inputs and services, is not optimal. Fourth, DID may generate more general labor market opportunities through telework and virtual learning expansions but could also induce larger wage gaps as the skill premium rises so that the net effect on inequality is ambiguous.

El presente texto expone algunos desarrollos centrales en la historia económica de Colombia en los últimos cien años, partiendo de 1923, año de creación del Banco de la República. Para ello, se analiza la dinámica de la economía, la evolución de la pobreza, la calidad de vida y la distribución del ingreso; así como la evolución de la industria y el grado de convergencia en el ingreso per cápita regional, en cuanto a la “estructura” productiva del país. También, se abordan tres aspectos de la política económica y sus resultados: la política monetaria y la inflación; la política cambiaria y la evolución de la tasa de cambio; y la política comercial, las exportaciones y las importaciones.
