Abstract
Empleando la Encuesta de Estructura Salarial se plantea una propuesta de estimación de externalidades de capital humano intraempresa que permite relajar las restricciones introducidas por las especificaciones que la literatura empírica existente ha usado. En concreto, la metodología propuesta evalúa las externalidades de capital humano aprovechando al máximo la variabilidad en la muestra, al permitir que todos los coeficientes de las ecuaciones estimadas varíen con el nivel de capital humano del establecimiento, relajando la hipótesis implícita de linealidad entre el efecto de externalidad y el nivel educativo de los individuos.
Using the Wage Structure Survey we present a proposal to estimate human capital externalities at the firm level relaxing the restrictions imposed by the specifications used until now by the empirical literature. In particular, our methodological proposal assesses the human capital externalities maximizing the variability in the sample, allowing all the coefficients of the estimated equations vary with the level of human capital development, relaxing the implicit assumption of linearity between the effect externality and the educational level of individuals.
