description The objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between public spending directed to the education, health and research and development sectors, and the economic growth of South American countries, during the period 1995-2018. Given the structure of the data, a panel data model was estimated in its specifications of first differences, fixed effects, and random effects. When controlling for heteroscedasticity and serial autocorrelation, the result is that education spending is the only one that is positively influencing economic growth, while there is insufficient empirical evidence for spending in other sectors to affirm that it had an impact on the development of the South American economies.

Given the structure of the data, a panel data model was estimated in its specifications of first differences, fixed effects, and random effects.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la relación que existe entre el gasto público dirigido al sector de la educación, la salud y al área de investigación y desarrollo, y el crecimiento económico de los países suramericanos, durante el periodo 1995-2018. Dada la estructura de los datos, se estimó un modelo de datos de panel en sus especificaciones de primeras diferencias, efectos fijos y efectos aleatorios. Al controlar por heterocedasticidad y autocorrelación serial se obtiene como resultado que el gasto en educación es el único que está influyendo de manera positiva en el crecimiento económico, mientras que del gasto de los otros sectores no existe suficiente evidencia empírica para afirmar que tuvo un impacto en el desarrollo de las economías suramericanas.
