YULOK4882023-05-30T13:34:44Z Contribution of education in the regional socioeconomic development of Costa Rica: An econometric analysis Contribución de la educación en el desarrollo socioeconómico regional de Costa Rica: un análisis econométrico Sandoval Vásquez, José Fulvio Educación Capital humano Inversión Desarrollo económico Education Human capital Investment Economic development This article presents the results of a research whose purpose was to study the relationship between education, as human capital, and the socioeconomic development of the country at the regional and national levels. For such purposes, a mathematical model was elaborated that related several development indicators with socioeconomic variables using a sample of cross-sectional data for the 81 cantons of the country. The model was estimated with the Ordinary Least Squares technique. The results obtained showed that investment in education has contributed positively and significantly to national and regional socioeconomic development, with primary education being the most important level, followed by higher education. In addition, the simulations carried out with the model allowed to establish priorities for investment in education and thus contribute to reduce the inequalities of development between regions. Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación, cuya finalidad fue estudiar la relación entre educación, como capital humano, y el desarrollo socioeconómico del país en los ámbitos regional y nacional. Para tales efectos, se elaboró un modelo matemático que relacionó diversos indicadores de desarrollo con variables socioeconómicas.Se utilizó una muestra de datos de corte transversal para los 81 cantones del país. El modelo se estimó con la técnica de Mínimos Cuadrados Ordinarios. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron demostrar que la inversión en educación ha contribuido de forma positiva y significativa en el desarrollo socioeconómico nacional y regional. La educación primaria constituye el nivel más importante, seguido por la educación superior. Además, las simulaciones realizadas con el modelo permitieron establecer prioridades para la inversión en educación y así contribuir con reducir las desigualdades de desarrollo entre regiones.
