Economic growth in Colombia: an empirical approximation founded in human capital (1960-2009)
The aim of this paper is to specify an empirical model based on theoretical arguments, quantifying the influence of human capital, measured through a set of variables that reflect the health and education behavior on the outcome of economic growth observed for Colombia, between 1960 and 2009.

| description | The aim of this paper is to specify an empirical model based on theoretical arguments, quantifying the influence of human capital, measured through a set of variables that reflect the health and education behavior on the outcome of economic growth observed for Colombia, between 1960 and 2009. The authors review the literature on economic growth and human capital, represented by health and education, so that, with the sources of information available in Colombia, they do a selection of data that allows the collection of variables that reflect and quantify the transmission channels suggested by existing theory. Finally, they specify an empirical model that estimates the theoretical relationship between human capital and economic growth. |

The aim of this paper is to specify an empirical model based on theoretical arguments, quantifying the influence of human capital, measured through a set of variables that reflect the health and education behavior on the outcome of economic growth observed for Colombia, between 1960 and 2009. The authors review the literature on economic growth and human capital, represented by health and education, so that, with the sources of information available in Colombia, they do a selection of data that allows the collection of variables that reflect and quantify the transmission channels suggested by existing theory. Finally, they specify an empirical model that estimates the theoretical relationship between human capital and economic growth. El objetivo de este artículo es especificar un modelo empírico basado en los argumentos teóricos, que cuantifique la influencia del capital humano, medido a través de un conjunto de variables que reflejan el comportamiento de la salud y la educación, sobre el resultado del crecimiento económico observado para Colombia, entre los años 1960 y 2009. Realiza un recorrido por la literatura referente al crecimiento económico y el capital humano, representado por la salud y la educación, de tal manera que, con las fuentes de información disponibles en Colombia, realiza una selección de datos que permite la obtención de variables que reflejen y cuantifiquen los canales de trasmisión sugeridos por la teoría existente. Para terminar, especifica un modelo empírico que estima la relación teórica entre el capital humano y el crecimiento económico.
