Abstract

Se analizan diferentes alternativas para la financiación de la educación superior,teniendo en cuenta que la presencia de fallas de mercado -tanto por el lado de lademanda como por el de la oferta- hace de éste un sector muy particular. Las primerasse relacionan con las decisiones privadas en términos de educación de la poblaciónestudiantil, y las segundas con las asimetrías de información que caracterizan el lado dela oferta en el financiamiento de la educación. El documento hace una revisión deliteratura académica y de algunas experiencias internacionales sobre las diferentesfuentes de financiación en este sector, así como sus potenciales efectos sobre ciertasvariables. Así, esta revisión arroja luces sobre las alternativas para el caso Colombiano.********************************************************************************************************This document analyzes different options in higher education funding, through the studyof the market failures -by the demand and the supply side- that make this sector aparticular one.
