Este trabajo usa ricos datos administrativos, emparejando información de admisiones de las instituciones de educación superior, características socioeconómicas de los jóvenes graduados, evaluaciones estandarizadas pre- y posteducación terciaria y salarios de entrada, para evaluar la heterogeneidad en el valor agregado generado por los programas de educación superior. Nuestros hallazgos muestran que una vez se tiene en cuenta la autoselección, la penalidad por atender a programas recientemente creados, que inicialmente parecía ser considerablemente grande, se vuelve cercana a cero.41 páginasapplication/pdfspaUniversidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDEDocumentos CEDE No. 13 Febrero de 2017https://ideas.repec.org/p/col/000089/015352.htmlThe expansion of higher education in Colombia : bad students or bad programs?La expansión de la educación superior en Colombia : ¿Malos estudiantes o malos programas?Documento de trabajoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/workingPaperhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_8042http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85Texthttps://purl.org/redcol/resource_type/WPReturns to tertiary educationHeterogeneityValue added of higher educationColombiaEducación superior - ColombiaCalidad de la educación superior - ColombiaEducación inclusiva - ColombiaI23, I24, I26Facultad de EconomíaPublicationTHUMBNAILdcede2017-13.pdf.jpgdcede2017-13.pdf.jpgIM Thumbnailimage/jpeg10763https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/5f804a14-db57-4b9b-9c52-d3278d4b1748/download89cc427b7ab950582e68e79b16faf2b9MD55TEXTdcede2017-13.pdf.txtdcede2017-13.pdf.txtExtracted texttext/plain89593https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/72059d4c-76cf-4df4-abcb-93662f915689/downloadfe45568ea3098ac9ec515661af8ded2eMD54ORIGINALdcede2017-13.pdfdcede2017-13.pdfapplication/pdf837812https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/bitstreams/d7971cad-d358-4a36-b522-9d128439edd0/download8dc4755fc815a9a02685b8bbb418f1d6MD511992/8692oai:repositorio.uniandes.edu.co:1992/86922024-06-04 15:25:25.725http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/open.accesshttps://repositorio.uniandes.edu.coRepositorio institucional Sénecaadminrepositorio@uniandes.edu.co
