Abstract

En este artículo se presenta una visión comparada de la formación de economistas en cinco países de América Latina. Para tal fin, se analizan la currícula, los libros de texto comúnmente utilizados, la dedicación de los profesores, los métodos de enseñanza, y el uso de tecnologías y herramientas computacionales. Así mismo, siguiendo el enfoque de Colander (2005), se aplica una encuesta a estudiantes de esta carrera para diseñar un perfil socioeconómico de los mismos e indagar acerca de sus actitudes y opiniones. Dentro de las regularidades encontradas para los cinco países, es de resaltar la falta de conexión entre las expectativas de los estudiantes sobre las demandas de los mercados de trabajo y las demandas efectivas de economistas por sectores de empleo.
