Abstract

El objetivo de esta investigación es examinar la relación entre el gasto publico y el capital humano a nivel global aplicando datos de panel. Utilizamos datos compilados por el Banco Mundial en los Indicadores del Desarrollo (2017) del periodo 1970-2014. A pesar de la inestabilidad de políticas educativas a nivel mundial, lo resultados encontrados son consistentes con el modelo desarrollado por Ben- Porath (1967). Encontramos que la variable del gasto publico, medido por el gasto de consumo final del gobierno a precios constantes, y el capital humano, medido por la tasa de alfabetización, aplicando la prueba del modelo de corrección de error, los resultados nos arrojan que hay cointegración de equilibrio a corto plazo entre las variables antes descritas, por lo tanto, el gasto publico influye positivamente en el capital humano en el corto plazo. Ademas, en la cointegración de datos de panel se puede observar que a nivel global no existe cointegración a largo plazo, es decir no hay un movimiento conjunto y simultaneo de las variables. Las posibles implicaciones de política económica están orientadas a la formación de los ciudadanos de niveles de bajos ingresos, lo cual conseguiría una distribución de los ingresos m´as igualitaria entre los trabajadores de diferentes estratos y mayor crecimiento económico.
