Abstract
El Programa de Créditos Condonables para Doctorado es una política pública creada en 1992 que busca la formación de capital humano de alto nivel en Colombia. Debido a su importancia en el sector de ciencia, tecnología e innovación, este documento presenta una evaluación de impacto y un análisis costo-beneficio para este programa haciendo uso de herramientas cualitativas y cuantitativas. Con respecto a las primeras, fueron disenadas y aplicadas una serie de entrevistas a beneficiarios, no beneficiarios, directores de programas curriculares y grupos de investigación, decanos de facultades y empresas en varias ciudades del país. Por otro lado, también fue disenada una encuesta a beneficiarios y no beneficiarios sobre temas como la experiencia académica y laboral, la participación en grupos de investigación y la producción académica. Además, esta información fue complementada con registros administrativos del Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación y del Ministerio de Salud y Protección Social, en particular sobre la cotización al sistema de seguridad social en salud, para evaluar ingresos y formalidad. Luego del procesamiento de esta información y aplicando un modelo de diferencias en diferencias, fue posible identificar que los beneficiarios cuentan con 2,9 publicaciones adicionales y cerca de $286 mil más de ingreso con respecto a los no beneficiarios del programa. Por su parte, frente a otros grupos, los impactos son más altos en hombres que en mujeres, así como son mayores en áreas del conocimiento como ciencias naturales e ingeniería y tecnología. ******Abstract: The Forgivable Loans for Doctorate Program is a public policy, created in 1992, whose objective is the high-level human capital formation in Colombia.
