| description | This research addresses how extreme climate phenomena, such as El Niño and La Niña, affect the economic structure of Ecuadorian municipalities. Using the Herfindahl-Hirschman index (HHI) to measure economic diversification, the relationship between climate vulnerability and diversification is analyzed in 221 municipalities. The results show that higher climate vulnerability is associated with lower economic diversification, highlighting the urgent need for robust adaptation strategies. The literature review highlights the importance of economic diversification as a strategy to mitigate climate risks. Previous studies indicate that more diversified economies are more resilient to climate shocks, allowing communities to redistribute resources and cushion negative impacts in specific sectors. Furthermore, the crucial role of adaptive capacity, including infrastructure, governance and social resources, in strengthening local resilience is highlighted. The analysis reveals that coastal and mountain regions are particularly sensitive to climate variability due to their dependence on agriculture and fishing. In contrast, municipalities in the Amazon region face additional challenges due to their limited economic diversification. |

Utilizando el índice de Herfindahl-Hirschman (HHI) para medir la diversificación económica, se analiza la relación entre vulnerabilidad climática y diversificación en 221 municipios. Los resultados muestran que una mayor vulnerabilidad climática está asociada con una menor diversificación económica, lo que resalta la necesidad urgente de estrategias de adaptación robustas. La revisión de la literatura subraya la importancia de la diversificación económica como estrategia para mitigar los riesgos climáticos. Estudios previos indican que economías más diversificadas son más resilientes a perturbaciones climáticas, permitiendo a las comunidades redistribuir recursos y amortiguar impactos negativos en sectores específicos. Además, se destaca el papel crucial de la capacidad de adaptación, que incluye infraestructura, gobernanza y recursos sociales, para fortalecer la resiliencia local. El análisis revela que las regiones costeras y la Sierra son particularmente sensibles a la variabilidad climática debido a su dependencia de la agricultura y la pesca. En contraste, los municipios de la región amazónica enfrentan desafíos adicionales por su limitada diversificación económica.Banco Central del Ecuador2024-06-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículos de Investigaciónapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/article/view/46210.47550/34.1.6Cuestiones Económicas; Vol. 34 Núm. 1 (2024): Revista Cuestiones Económicas; Autores: Segundo Vilema, Marlon Mayna, Miguel Ruiz y Cynthia Román2697-33672697-3367reponame:Revista Cuestiones Económicasinstname:Banco Central del Ecuadorinstacron:BCEspahttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/article/view/462/356https://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/article/view/462/364Derechos de autor 2024 Cuestiones Económicashttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-09-02T18:31:03Zoai:estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec:article/462Portal de revistashttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCEOrganismo de gobiernowww.bce.fin.echttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/oaiEcuadoropendoar:2025-09-02T18:31:03falsePortal de revistashttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCEOrganismo de gobiernowww.bce.fin.echttps://estudioseconomicos.bce.fin.ec/index.php/RevistaCE/oaiEcuadoropendoar:2025-09-02T18:31:03Revista Cuestiones Económicas - Banco Central del Ecuadorfalse |
