Abstract

El presente trabajo tiene por objeto estimar una función de producción educativa para Mendoza. El modelo estimado, basado en una tecnología translogarítmica para captar relaciones de segundo orden, corrobora lo evidenciado por la literatura: aún siendo un enfoque controvertido en términos de metodologías utilizadas y resultados esperados, es coincidente en cuanto a que el factor más significativo para explicar el alcance académico de los alumnos es el nivel socioeconómico. No obstante, sin llegar a proponer recetas acerca de la utilización de insumos específicos, los resultados del modelo sugieren importante espacio para los tomadores de decisiones educativas a niveles descentralizados. / The aim of this paper is to estimate an education production function using a survey collected in the public schools of Mendoza. Through the estimation of a translog technology that enables the evaluation of second order effects, the results of the best fitted model recall what is found in the main literature, although controversial about the validity of this approach and the applied methodologies: the input which contributes the most to explain academic achievement is the socioeconomic background of the student. The model also suggest significant room to descentralized policymaking, without specific references to input policies.
