Resumen

This project pretends to analyze the relationship between variations in the unemployment rate and the level of real production in the department of Tolima, Colombia; between 2001 and 2019, with the intention of validating the existence of an economic concept as Okun's Law in the region. For the above, I worked with a mixed methodology, based on documentary review and tools as statistics and econometrics to carry out the practical exercise. In addition to this, a general objective was proposed, complemented by several specific objectives for its fulfillment; as well as a theoretical and conceptual framework that was input for the preparation of this document. Finally, with the construction of the econometric model, the interpretation of the results led to the elaboration of the respective conclusions.
