This paper analyzes the economic linkages between the Colombian departments for the years 2004 and 2012 under a regional and sectorial approach, using the CEER Model data. Two methodologies are used: linkages derived from the Leontief inverse and the pure linkages approach proposed by Sonis et al. (1995). The main findings are 1) the more developed regions in Colombia have higher intraregional and interregional forward linkages; 2) the industry and service sectors remain the ones with the highest productive linkages, even after a period of declining relevance; 3) construction and public administration sectors had the largest increases; and 4) the regional linkages showed no significant changes in the national aggregate.
