Resumen
LEMA-LOPEZ, Camilo y GODA, Thomas. GOLD MINING AND HOMICIDE RATE IN COLOMBIA 2004-2015. Semest. Econ. [online]. 2017, vol.20, n.43, pp.61-79. ISSN 0120-6346. https://doi.org/10.22395/seec.v20n43a3.
This paper studies the casual relation between gold mining and the homicide rates in gold producing municipalities in Colombia for the 2004-2015 period. To achieve this goal, a panel data econometric model with fixed effects is used, estimated by ordinary least squares. Obtained results suggest that during the booming period of gold price (2004-2010), the increase in gold production generated an increase in homicide rates in auriferous municipalities of Colombia. While the gold price crash (2011-2015) led to a reduction in violent deaths.
