Abstract

Analizamos la situación de las economías en desarrollo respecto a su posición en torno a la frontera tecnológica mundial. En base a Vandenbussche et al. (2006) y Acemoglu et al. (2006), presentamos un modelo matemático de crecimiento económico endógeno con capital humano y progreso técnico, relacionado con el resto del mundo por medio de la distancia a la frontera tecnológica. El modelo permite identificar cómo se asignarán los recursos destinados a la inversión en capital humano, de acuerdo a la proximidad de la economía a la frontera tecnológica mundial. Se plantea un modelo dinámi co de datos de panel para 121 economías en el periodo 1970-2015. Los resultados muestran que la educación primaria es la que explica la tasa de crecimiento de la productividad total de factores para economías en desarrollo, por lo que se debería aumentar l a inversión en este sector.
