El crecimiento endógeno local de las principales ciudades de Colombia desde el año 2005 hasta el 2019 a partir de la realización del mundial de Fútbol categoría Sub-20 en el año 2011

Abstract

Sport has gained great strength within the world economy, since it has been shown that it can be considered an economic good, since there is an entire production around it in order to be consumed by its clients, this has led various economists to investigate in this regard, taking into account the economic weight considered as an economic sector of a country or even estimating the economic impact of sporting events of special relevance in a country or region. Currently, the political or private sector promotes the holding or awarding of sporting events in some region, as it is considered to be a source of direct and induced benefits. The importance of holding these events has surpassed their sporting essence, focusing more on a social, economic and political sphere, however on many occasions the impact of these events on local economic development has been overvalued, since according to research carried out in the western continent, in North America and even in Brazil, the effects are not directly on local economic development, but more on the generation of wealth for developers or sponsors. In Colombia, there has been an increase in the holding of sporting events in the main cities of the country, which are carried out from the premise of employment generation, local economic growth, sports and cultural development, however, it is considered that it is important to determine and evaluate from an academic perspective whether the realization of said events has resulted in economic development for the region that held them or if, on the contrary, their realization has not boosted the economy.
