Abstract

Este artículo ofrece evidencia del papel positivo que la reducción de la desigualdad de género ejerce en el crecimiento económico de los países centroamericanos. La metodología de análisis consiste en la estimación de ecuaciones por medio de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios, usando una sección cruzada de datos de 2017, de diecisiete países latinoamericanos. Se desarrolló un modelo de interdependencia económica para los países centroamericanos, con resultados que revelan que la reducción de la desigualdad de género en un país concreto conduce al aumento de su PIB y los de los otros países. Este tema no ha sido analizado en la literatura de la integración económica. La implicación es que los países pueden encontrar un medio para dinamizar sus economías, en la reducción de la desigualdad de género. ****** This article offers evidence of the positive role that the reduction of gender inequality plays in the economic growth of Central American countries. The analysis methodology consists of estimating equations by means of ordinary least squares, using a cross section of data from 2017 from seventeen Latin American countries. A model of economic interdependence was developed for the Central American countries, with results that reveal that the reduction of gender inequality in a specific country leads to an increase in its GDP as well as that of the other countries. This issue has not been analyzed in the literature on economic integration. The implication is that countries can find a way to boost their economies by reducing gender inequality.
