Abstract

El objetivo de este documento es analizar la demanda de educación universitaria y sus determinantes en Colombia. Para ello, se utilizan modelos de elección discreta robustos que tienen en cuenta el sesgo de selección muestral, debido a que la heterogeneidad no observada de los estudiantes que terminan el bachillerato, que está correlacionada con la decisión de demandar educación universitaria. Los resultados muestran la corrección del sesgo de selección y que la probabilidad de demandar educación universitaria en Colombia está condicionada por características propias de algunos grupos sociales.
