Abstract

This paper estimates human capital externalities in Mexico using the traditional approaches in the literature. We control the potential endogenenity of individual and average schooling with instrumental variables techniques. We use as instruments, the educational reform of 1993 of compulsory secondary education and the proportion of graduates from upper secondary and higher education and the structure of the population of the states in a previous period. The results show that there is a strong positive and statistically significant relationship between experience, individual education and average education with individual wages. Also we confirmed by the implementation of the various approaches through the coincidence of the results that there are significant human capital externalities at state level in Mexico for the period 2000-2010.// El presente trabajo estima las externalidades del capital humano en México empleando los enfoques más utilizados en la literatura. Con el propósito de reducir el potencial sesgo de endogenedidad de la escolaridad individual y promedio realizamos estimaciones con variables instrumentales. Para lo cual empleamos como instrumento de la primera la reforma educativa de 1993 que promulgó la obligatoriedad de la educación secundaria. Para la segunda utilizamos la proporción de egresados de educación media superior y superior y la estructura de la población de los estados en un periodo previo. Los resultados muestran que existe una fuerte relación positiva y estadísticamente significativa entre experiencia, educación individual y educación promedio estatal con los salarios individuales. Asimismo, confirmamos por medio de la aplicación de los diversos enfoques a través de la coincidencia en los resultados encontrados que existen externalidades significativas del capital humano a nivel estatal en México para el periodo 2000-2010.
