Camacho González, Adriana Messina, Julián Uribe, Juan Pablo Returns to tertiary education Heterogeneity Value added of higher education Colombia Educación superior - Colombia Calidad de la educación superior - Colombia Educación inclusiva - Colombia I23, I24, I26 A rapid expansion in the demand for post-secondary education triggered an unprecedented boom of higher education programs in Colombia, possibly deteriorating quality. This paper uses rich administrative data matching school admission information, socio-economic characteristics of the young graduates, standardized test scores pre- and post-tertiary education and entry wages, to assess the heterogeneity in the value added generated by new higher education programs. Our findings show that once we account for self-selection the penalty of attending a recently created program, which initially appeared to be quite large, becomes close to zero. Una rápida expansión de la demanda por educación post-secundaria desató un boom sin precedentes de programas de educación superior en Colombia, posiblemente deteriorando la calidad. 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. 2018-09-27T16:55:58Z 2018-09-27T16:55:58Z 2017 document publishedVersion 1657-5334 http://hdl.handle.net/1992/8692 1657-7191 spa Documentos CEDE No. 13 Febrero de 2017 Al consultar y hacer uso de este recurso, está aceptando las condiciones de uso establecidas por los autores. openAccess Universidad de los Andes, Facultad de Economía, CEDE instname:Universidad de los Andes reponame:Repositorio Institucional Séneca
