Abstract

En este estudio se verifica en qué medida las muertes y la oferta laboral inciden en la generación de capital humano en el departamento de Bolívar durante el periodo 2002 – 2009, para lo cual se empleó información recolectada por el DANE y el Ministerio de Educación Nacional. Inicialmente se realiza la caracterización y análisis de las variables y luego se desarrolla un ejercicio econométrico utilizando el método de efectos fijos con corrección de heteroscedasticidad para datos de panel. Se detectó que en los 45 municipios del departamento, las muertes y la oferta laboral inciden en la generación de capital humano cuando esta última es medida con los matriculados en educación básica primaria; además, se confirmaron los hallazgos de estudios anteriores para otras zonas y otros anos: "en edad adulta el exceso de mortalidad altera la formación de capital humano en la sociedad".
