| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | In this paper, we use the econometric frontier approach to estimate efficiency
measures of the transformation of human capital into earned income in the
Chilean labor market for the period 1957-1998. We find that the mean efficiency
is 75%, and that it has been improving over time. We also find evidence
of detrimental effects of non market oriented governments on these efficiency
measures. Some evidence is also found about the effects of health on efficiency,
the existence of labor market segmentation and the importance of “social networks†.
Finally we calculate correlation measures and casuality tests between
the estimated efficiencies and the rate of growth of GDP, finding a statistical
precedence of the former to the later. We give then an appealing explanation for
this result. | en |
