This study analyzes the factors associated to the school desertion in the City of Cartagena and two case studies corresponding to the educational institutions San Felipe Neri and Agropecuaria Tecnica La Boquilla. We include variables related to individual, socio-economic, academic and...

En este estudio se analiza el comportamiento de la deserción escolar en la Institución Educativa Benkos Biohó, del corregimiento de Palenque, en el 2007. Además, se analiza la situación de la deserción escolar del municipio de Mahates y del departamento de Bolívar. Se indaga, mediante...

We compare the performance of maximum likelihood (ML) and simulated method of moments (SMM) estimation for dynamic discrete choice models. We construct and estimate a simplified dynamic structural model of education that captures some basic features of educational choices in the United States in...

This paper considers the problem of parameter estimation in a model for a continuous response variable y when an important ordinal explanatory variable x is missing for a large proportion of the sample. Non-missingness of x, or sample selection, is correlated with the response variable and/or...

El presente estudio reporta los resultados de un diseño longitudinal en el que se siguió a 304 estudiantes de zonas urbanas y rurales de Puno. Los estudiantes incluidos se encontraban en quinto grado de primaria en el 2000 y debían estar en quinto de secundaria (el fin de la educación...

Este documento analiza la estructura económica del Departamento de Nariño, e indaga sobre algunos elementos que han obstaculizado su desarrollo económico, como la falta de vías o de energía eléctrica en las zonas más apartadas del Departamento. En el período 1990-2004 la economía...
