Abstract

This article analyzesin a simplified way the role of the institutions in the context of economic growth; the core idea is that institutions and economic policy decisions influence economic growth with negative or positive incentives. The main objective of this analysis is to examine how an economic policy affected the Coffee Triangle region growth between 1985 and 2005. For this purpose we used Dani Rodrik’s (2007) crossed industry model which relates institutions represented in policy measurement and economic growth formally. Policy measurement is constructed from a proxy variable which measures the degree of the regional foreign trade economic opening, and economic growth is measured from the total factor productivity (TFP) estimation. As a conclusion a negative result of the political measurement (economic opening) is found in Caldas and Quindio economy, and a positive result can be observed in the Department of Risaralda.
