REY SABOGAL, Camilo. ANÁLISIS ESPACIAL DE LA CORRELACIÓN ENTRE CULTIVO DE PALMA DE ACEITE Y DESPLAZAMIENTO FORZADO EN COLOMBIA. Cuad. Econ. [online]. 2013, vol.32, n.spe61, pp.683-718. ISSN 0121-4772.

This article examines the existence of a possible correlation between oil palm plantations and forced displacement in Colombia. We do the analysis from spatial econometrics because we identified autocorrelation and clusters in the variables between municipal geographic units. We used the strategy Geographically Weighted Regression, which estimates municipal equations that incorporate the behavior of the variables in the neighboring units. As a result we found direct relationship between palm and displacement in areas where crops were promoted in the last decade. This work has not yet evaluated the causal relationship between the variables, something that requires new data and methodological adjustments.

Keywords : Palm oil; forced displacement; spatial analysis; armed conflict.
