Abstract
This research paper performs a review of the most recent literature about the topic of economic growth, inequality, poverty and violence in Colombia. The survey explores some of the characteristics, connexions and realities that have been documented in the existing literature on the incidence that those variables may have on violence dynamics. Based on observed trends for the last 50 years, a geo-referenced exercise is performed on the different effects that poverty, the geographical localisation of violent groups, and the production of illegal crops may exert on the high levels of violence experienced by some regions in the country. An empirical examination of the effects that productive factors, violence and inequality may have on economic growth is also presented. Evidence for the hypothesis that the prevailing socioeconomic characteristics of every region have affected the pace of economic growth is found. Therefore, it is proven that productive factors and violence affect the country’s economic growth.
