Abstract

“Este trabajo documenta y analiza los determinantes de los logros educativos y de la transformación demográfica en Bogotá, Colombia, durante el período 1976-1995. A diferencia de muchos trabajos desarrollados sobre este tema que utilizan cortes transversales individuales y que por tanto no pueden analizar los patrones dinámicos ni los determinantes de la expansión educativa, y que utilizan niveles incompletos de logros educacionales, se utilizó un marco explícitamente dinámico con investigaciones múltiples con secciones de corte transversal y educación completa dentro de la totalidad del marco del modelo de Capital Humano Extendido de educación y demografía. Encuentro que los logros educacionales en Bogotá, crecieron de manera importante durante el período de 1976-1990. Las políticas gubernamentales fueron un elemento esencial en el incremento de los logros educativos durante el período 1976-1990, y causa principal de la crisis de los 90. La mayor parte de la atención sobre la globalización y el trabajo, se ha enfocado en el impacto de la globalización y de la liberalización comercial en las estructuras salariales en el Norte y en el Sur. Este trabajo está organizado en 6 secciones. La sección I es una introducción al tema y a la teoría. La sección II presenta la información, la metodología y los resultados descriptivos. La sección III presenta los resultados econométricos. La sección IV interpreta las conclusiones empíricas. La sección V discute las implicaciones políticas comerciales, así como las teorías de crecimiento. La sección VI presenta las conclusiones.”
