Abstract

This paper reports on the recent developments in the construction of an interregional input-output matrix for Colombia. The results suggest that there are important differences in the Colombian regions. We also highlight the importance of geographical proximity with respect to the effects of changes in final demand on the product generated in other regions. This highlights, as well, the role of space and distances in regional disparities.
