Abstract
La agricultura ha sido históricamente una actividad prioritaria en Colombia. Su desempeno depende primordialmente de la productividad, la cual parece estar correlacionada con los bienes públicos del sector. En el trabajo se estiman las coberturas de los principales bienes de infraestructura y se evalúan sus efectos sobre el rendimiento y el área sembrada de dieciséis cultivos cosechados en diversas regiones del país. Utilizando modelos de emparejamiento (Propensity Score Matching) se encuentra que el rendimiento de una tercera parte de los cultivos ha sido impactado positivamente por los distritos de riego y drenaje. También revela que el mejor acceso a los centros de acopio y la red de vías terciarias afectan positivamente las áreas sembradas de la mayor parte de los cultivos. Una reasignación de los recursos del Estado hacia la provisión de infraestructura rural es crucial para el desarrollo agrícola del país.
