Abstract

En este trabajo se efectúa una contrastación de la teoría del capital humano, utilizando para ello una muestra correspondiente a la ciudad de Buenos Aires en 1852. Este es uno de los raros casos en que para el siglo XIX se ha obtenido la información necesaria para construir ecuaciones de ingresos. Entre las conclusiones del análisis destaca la ausencia de una relación entre salarios y alfabetización. En cambio, para los propietarios se observa una relación significativa entre educación y rentas. Estos resultados son interpretados y comparados con los obtenidos en estudios referidos a otras regiones de la misma época.
