Abstract

Se analiza la relación entre capital humano y crecimiento económico en México utilizando datos de panel por estados. Se miden los efectos de la escolaridad por nivel educativo y se controla por diferencias en la calidad del capital humano con dos variables alternativas: el puntaje en matemáticas de los exámenes PISA y el valor agregado atribuible al capital humano dentro de la masa salarial total. Se concluye que las discrepancias en la calidad del capital humano y los avances diferenciados en la cobertura de educación superior entre estados determinaron que el esfuerzo educativo de las últimas dos décadas tuviera efectos regionales dispares sobre el crecimiento económico.
