The program resulted in a general reduction in crimes committed by forced migrants, while also increasing the number of domestic abuse and sex crimes female migrants reported. These findings suggest that empowerment and greater trust in local authorities are key mechanisms driving …

  • Is Murder Bad for Business? Evidence from Colombia

    Open AccessSandra V Rozo, Sandra RozoARTICLEThe Review of Economics and…2018

    This paper studies the effects of violent crime on market prices and size using plant-level panel data in Colombia. To estimate causal effects, I exploit reductions in violence driven by increases in security expenditures during Álvaro Uribe’s presidency; these resulted in greater violence reductions in municipalities that voted for him in the 2002 elections as he was looking for reelection. I find that firms that face higher violence also face l…

  • On the Effects of Enforcement on Illegal Markets

    Open AccessDaniel Mejía, Pascual Restrepo et al.BOOK2017

    This paper studies the effects of enforcement on illegal behavior in the context of a large aerial spraying program designed to curb coca cultivation in Colombia. In 2006, the Colombian government pledged not to spray a 10 km band around the frontier with Ecuador due to diplomatic frictions arising from the possibly negative collateral effects of this policy on the Ecuadorian side of the border. We exploit this variation to estimate the effect of…

    Open AccessCárdenas S Mauricio, Sandra Rozo et al.ARTICLERevista Desarrollo y Sociedad2009

In addition, analyzes the impact of the new program for firms’ registration -CAEs- created recently in the six principal cities of Colombia. The analysis uses data from the Encuesta 123, the 2005 Censo Económico de Cali y Yumbo a…

  • Análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo de la informalidad empresarial en Colombia

    Open AccessSanta María S Mauricio, Sandra Rozo et al.ARTICLERevista Desarrollo y Sociedad2009Cited by: 3

    This document deepens the study of the determinants of firm informality in Colombia using both a quantitative and a qualitative approach. The former is carried out using the Cali and Yumbo Enterprise Census for the year 2005, which allowed, for the first time, to analyze informality across firms of any size and avoid problems related to sampling. Estimations show that the incidence of informality among small firms (microempresas) is strikingly la…
