Este trabajo analiza el problema de la deserción estudiantil en la Facultad de Economía de la Universidad del Rosario, a través del estudio de los factores individuales, académicos y socioeconómicos sobre el riesgo de desertar. Para esto se utiliza el análisis de modelos de duración. Específicamente, se estima un modelo de riesgo proporcional de tiempo discreto con y sin heterogeneidad observada ((Prentice-Gloeckler, 1978 y Meyer, 1980). Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes de sexo masculino, la vinculación de los estudiantes al mercado laboral y los estudiantes provenientes de otras regiones, tienen mayor riesgo de deserción. Además, la edad del estudiante incrementa el riesgo, sin embargo su efecto decrece marginalmente al aumentar la edad. ******************************************************************************************************** This paper analyzes the determinants of the student’s drop-out in the Department of Economics at the Universidad del Rosario, throughout the study of the individual, academic, and socioeconomic background over the desertion risk. In this analysis a duration model is performed with the aim of finding those factors. Specifically, a proportional hazard model is estimated in discrete time with and without observed heterogeneity (Prentice-Gloeckler, 1978 and Meyer, 1980). The results show that male students, students participating within the labor market, and students from other regions have a higher risk of drop-out. Furthermore, the older the student, the highest the risk of deserting; however this effect behaves marginally decreasing.
