Crecimiento económico y convergencia de los cantones de la provincia del Carchi.

Abstract

Abstract: This research determines and analyzes the sigma convergence and beta convergence, as well as the study of the economic growth of the province of Carchi, investigating mainly through the Gross Value Added (GVA) during the period 2007 - 2020. It should be noted that in addition to the cantons belonging to the province studied, cantons belonging to the provinces bordering Carchi were added. An important part of this study are the convergence processes which allow the determination of the growth between poor and rich cantons, through the methodology of the cross-section regression model. This study is based on a literature review and production of population statistics by canton, using secondary sources of information published by the Central Bank of Ecuador (BCE) and the National Institute of Statistics and Census (INEC)
