Con el objetivo de definir la forma de estimar teóricamente el costo de capital enColombia, se llevó a cabo una revisión de la literatura correspondiente en las bases dedatos electrónicas de las principales universidades del país. A partir de una revisiónde las prácticas metodológicas más comunes en el ámbito mundial, se presenta unaaproximación a la situación de los países emergentes y específicamente a la nuestra.Hasta ahora no existe una regla general ni una mejor práctica para dicho cálculo; aún haydificultades por resolver, en un medio donde cada vez son más globales los efectos y haygran diversidad de situaciones locales. Entre los académicos y prácticos encontramosdiversas posturas, razón por la cual es recomendable que los inversionistas o accionistashagan una evaluación permanente de sus resultados. Hoy por hoy se siguen utilizandolos modelos disponibles, entre los cuales el principal es el CAPM (Capital Asset PricingModel), con diversas propuestas de ajuste a su planteamiento tradicional. Capital project cost estimation methodologies. The colombian case study A literature review using databases of the main Colombian universities was made in order to define the theoretical form of capital cost estimation in Colombia. Given a review of global popular methodologies, this article presents an approach to emergent countries, especially Colombia. Up to now, there has not been a general rule or best practice for such estimation; on the contrary, diverse difficulties to be solved exist in an environment where the effects are global and different local situations arise. Academic and pragmatic authors find diverse postures, which makes recommendable to investors or shareholders to permanently evaluate the results. Currently, available models as Capital Asset Pricing are still used and adjust various proposals to its original structure.
