Abstract

Este artículo estima los retornos externos a la educación en México utilizando datos de la muestra de los Censos de Población de 2000 y 2010. Los resultados indican que el incremento de un punto porcentual de la participación de egresados universitarios en México, se traduce en un aumento de más de seis por ciento sobre los salarios promedio de las zonas metropolitanas, en un periodo de diez años. Analizando si estos efectos se deben a externalidades o a movimientos sobre la curva de demanda, se encuentra que parte de esos retornos, se deben a la interacción directa o indirecta de tales individuos.
