Abstract

Resumen: En este trabajo se lleva a cabo la estimación del valor del stock de capital humano bajo la metodología Jorgenson-Fraumeni para Colombia en el periodo 2001-2009. Se encuentra que la tasa de crecimiento del capital humano es de 3.24%, inferior a la de la producción de la economía que fue de 4.38%. Igualmente, se halla que los hombres contribuyen en mayor medida a la tasa de crecimiento del stock agregado, al igual que las personas que se encuentran en el nivel educativo de superior incompleta, mientras que los individuos más jóvenes, con edad entre 15 y 34 anos, contribuyen más por grupos de edad. Asimismo, se halla que el valor del capital humano es superior al PIB de la economía. Además, se estima que las tasas de inversión bruta, depreciación y revaluación real del capital humano, son de 7.48%, 4.44% y 0.1%, respectivamente, dando como resultado una tasa de inversión neta igual a 3.09%. Finalmente, se encuentra que el stock es sensible a los cambios de parámetros, pero sus tasas de crecimiento parecen inalteradas. / Abstract: In this paper we estimate the value of the human capital stock under the Jorgenson-Fraumeni methodology for Colombia over the period 2001-2009. We found that the growth rate of human capital is 3.24%, which is lower than the output growth rate of the economy, 4.38%. Similarly, we find that men contribute more to the growth rate of the aggregate stock, as well as those that are at an incomplete higher education level, while younger individuals aged between 15 and 34 years contribute more by age group. Likewise, the value of human capital is higher than that of GDP. Also, the rates of gross investment, depreciation and revaluation of human capital are 7.48%, 4.44% and 0.1%, respectively, thus resulting in a net investment rate of 3.09%. Finally, we found that the stock is sensitive to changes in parameters, but their growth rates seem unaffected.
