Gasto público en educación frente al comportamiento de los principales agregados económicos en Latinoamérica
Abstract
La educación es una de las principales herramientas utilizadas por los gobiernos para lograr el crecimiento y desarrollo de un país. En consecuencia, las inversiones que se hagan en este rubro impactan, positivamente, de alguna manera, el comportamiento de variables económicas tales como el Producto Interno Bruto y la tasa de desempleo. Desafortunadamente, este escenario no siempre resulta ser así por diversas razones. En el presente documento se analizarán las cifras del gasto público en educación en países de Latinoamérica, frente a algunas variables que son indicativas del crecimiento y desarrollo de las naciones; de tal forma, se puede determinar la existencia de una relación positiva o negativa al respecto, que establezca la dirección y proporción del efecto generado por las inversiones públicas en educación en los países objeto de estudio. _________ ABsTRACT Education is one of the most important income and development sources within an economy. Economic performance measured by real quantitative index such as Gross National Product (GNP) and Unemployment Rates (UE) is constrained by public expenditure on education due to its positive functional relationship with human capital accumulation. However, the human capital – growth – development link has not always been successfully stated in different countries for several reasons. The following research document makes an analysis of public expenditure on education in comparison with economic performance of relevant variables that are associated with economic growth and development in Latin America. Research methodological design allows finding evidence of either a positive or negative relationship of public spending on education over economic and development performance. Effect direction and effect relative magnitude giving initial expenditure in every country of Latin America are estimated to isolate educational impact over economic growth and countries development.Download Info
