Abstract
Este estudio cuantifica el impacto que tuvo la Teología de la Liberación (TL), un movimiento progresista de la Iglesia Católica, en la disminución de la violencia durante el conflicto armado interno en Perú. Para tal fin, se utiliza información acerca de la presencia de la TL a nivel de diócesis, la intensidad de la violencia a nivel de distrito, así como un conjunto de covariables. A través de técnicas de regresión discontinua, se identifica que, en
promedio, la presencia de la TL resultó en una reducción de 2.5 muertes y 1.8 ataques durante el conflicto. Los
resultados se mantienen robustos a diversas especificaciones y consistentes con una revisión cualitativa de estudios
de caso.
This study aims to quantify the impact of Liberation Theology (LT), a progressive movement within the Catholic Church, on the reduction of violence during Peru’s internal armed conflict. The analysis utilizes data on the presence of LT at the diocesan level, the level of violence intensity at the district level, and a set of covariates. Employing regression discontinuity techniques, the study reveals that, on average, the presence of LT was associated with a reduction of 2.5 deaths and 1.8 attacks during the conflict. These findings remain robust across various specifications and align with a qualitative examination of case studies.
