“…Social conflicts in sub-national spaces are mainly caused by the perception and/or verification of incompatible facts regarding the use of natural resources in a territorial area by the State, the business sector and civil society. Sixty percent of social conflicts in Peru are environmental in nature ( Ombudsman’s Office, 2024 ) and are structural in nature, with roots in the vice regal era ( Seminario and Palomino, 2020 ). Frequently, the extraction, processing and commercialization of natural resources, as of the other activities of production of goods and provision of services, are often accompanied by environmental impacts on sustainable development; among others, it generates inequalities in the family economy, in the access and enjoyment of environmental resources, breaks the structures of power and responsibilities, processes and culture of economic, social activities, etc., and care for the environment0020 ( Fernández, 2020 ).…”

The objective of the article was to investigate the possible inducing factors that contributed to determine the frequency of social conflicts at the subnational level in Peru between 2016 and 2021, including income inequality, social exclusion, fiscal centralism, corruption and revocation of authorities, for which four regression models were built. Disaggregated official data from the 24 departments and the provinces of Lima and Callao were analyzed. Economic inequality was associated with the Gini coefficient. To establish the association between social conflict and the inducers, it was estimated using Spearman’s Rho correlation coefficient. Statistical calculation was also employed to appreciate the collinearity between the inducers. The results showed that the revocation of subnational authorities determines 42.5% of social conflict. On the other hand, corruption and fiscal centralism determine 28.5% of the perception of suffering social exclusion. Inequality and social conflict determined 21.8% of the relevance of the execution and quality of public spending by the national government in the regions. Sixty percent of social conflicts in Peru are of an environmental nature. The population that has declared the greatest discrimination corresponds to Puno (28%). 55.6% of those surveyed consider corruption to be one of the country’s main problems. Corruption and social exclusion have a negative impact on the effectiveness of economic results and promote social conflicts. Inefficient use of fiscal resources translates into low quality of services and diminished credibility of the national and subnational governments. This situation highlights the need to design public policies that reduce conflicts and promote adequate governance.

“…( De Echave, 2023 ). However, this questioning is not a conjunctural issue, it is an endemic manifestation whose origins possibly predate the Republic, given the complex territoriality with which the country was built ( Seminario and Palomino, 2020 ; Castillo et al, 2023 ).…”

“…8 En resumen, a partir de las estimaciones presentadas en los trabajos recopilados en Tirado-Fabregat et al (2020) se ha completado una base de datos que recoge información regional de población y PIB para nueve países latinoamericanos: Argentina, Bolivia, Brasil, Chile, Colombia, México, Perú, Uruguay y Venezuela. Para esta muestra se ha compilado información para un máximo de once cortes temporales comunes (1895, 1913, 1925, 1935, 1950, 1960, 1970, 1980, 1990, 2000 y 2010) que cubren las principales etapas del desarrollo económico 6 La base de datos de los PIB regionales que fundamenta este artículo ha sido compilada a partir de los trabajos de Aguilar-Retureta et al (2020), Araoz et al (2020), Badia-Miró (2020), Bucciferro y Ferreira (2020), De Corso y Tirado-Fabregat (2020), Martinez-Galarraga et al (2020), Meisel-Roca y Hahn de Castro (2020), Peres-Cajías (2020) y Seminario et al (2020). A su vez, Diez-Minguela y Sanchis-Llopis (2020) ofrecen un análisis detallado de las fuentes y métodos empleados por este conjunto de autores para la estimación retrospectiva de los PIB regionales de los diferentes países.…”

“…Considering spatial dimensions appeared to be of primary importance for providing a deeper understanding of the effects of extreme El Niño event-related road damages in Peru. On the one side, this country has a structural "lagging regions" problem [19,20], with an important gap between its coastal regions and its other regions, that should be included in our general equilibrium analysis. On the other side, as observed in the past, this country is affected by two types of El Niño events with distinct regional distributions of damages [21].…”

Periodically, heavy rainfall associated with extreme El Niño events severely damage the Peruvian road-network. This study aims to assess the socio-economic effects of these non-frequent but recurrent climate shocks. For this purpose, we build a Computable General Equilibrium model that addresses the consequences of El Niño-related damages through an increase in interregional transportation costs and a negative externality effect on activities’ output, which has been estimated beforehand using a firm database. For designing simulation scenarios over a ten-year period where extreme El Niño events occurs at random as observed in the past in Peru, we model the occurrence of these events as a stochastic process with a VAR representation based on historical climatic data. Within this framework, we first show that such events constitute a significant one-off disaster risk for the country, threatening shifts of − 2.8% in GDP and + 1.9% in poverty rates with an annual probability p = 1.4%. We further show that they also present a longer-term risk, leading to average annual deviations from normal trend by − 0.8% in GDP and + 0.4% in poverty rate with a probability p = 12.6% over a ten-year period. However, we finally show that Peru might reduce these risks in constructing more disaster-resilient road infrastructure.
