Eficiencia económica del gasto público en educación secundaria: ¿qué tan diferentes son los países desarrollados y en desarrollo? Juliana Arias Ciro1, Alejandro Torres García2 DOI: 10.29263/DYS.80.4 Abstract This study measures the efficiency of public secondary education expenditure in 37 developing and developed countries using a two-step semi-paramet- ric DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) methodology. We first implement two cross-country frontier models for the 2012-2015 period: one using a physi- cal input (i.e., teacher-pupil ratio) and one using monetary inputs (i.e., gov- ernment and private expenditure per secondary student as a percentage of GDP). These results are corrected by the effects of GDP per capita and adult educational attainment as non-discretionary inputs.

  • GSERM) at Universidad EAFIT, 2018 2 MEDELLÍN Medellín Is a Dynamic Metropolis That Has Undergone a Cultural, Social, and Economic Transformation in Recent Years
    Global School 3-14 DECEMBER 2018-MEDELLÍN, COLOMBIA Global School in Empirical Research Methods (GSERM) at Universidad EAFIT, 2018 2 MEDELLÍN Medellín is a dynamic metropolis that has undergone a cultural, social, and economic transformation in recent years. Colombia’s second city both economically and in terms of number of inhabitants, it is located 1,538 meters (5,046 feet) above sea level, boasts a temperate climate with year-round temperatures ranging from between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius (64 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit), and has a history dating back nearly 340 years. The Medellín metropolitan area, which comprises 10 municipalities located in the Aburrá Valley, currently is home to roughly 3,800,000 people. This urban conglomerate in northwestern Colombia (nestled amid the Andes’ Cordillera Central range) hosts world-class events such as the Flower Festival, the International Poetry Festival, the Medellín Book and Culture Festival, Colombiamoda, and Colombiatex. 3 EAFIT EAFIT is a university with 57 years of history that inspires the current generations to embark on a life project that maximizes their potential. An institution that both conveys and generates knowledge, thus fulfilling its role as a teaching and research university. A place that transforms society. EAFIT currently offers 22 undergraduate degree programs, nearly 50 graduate certificate programs, 34 master’s degree programs, and 6 doctorate programs in the schools of Management, Engineering, Humanities, Law, Economics and Finance, and Sciences, and It has been recognized in three times with the Institutional Accreditation conferred by the National Education Ministry MEN. (2003, 2010 and 2018). Research-backed teaching is a focal point of the institution’s road map, in so far as the goal is to not only convey but also generate knowledge.

    Editorial 5 January - June 2010 Colombia | Vol.1, 01. Journal of International Law Editorial “A man cannot govern a nation if he cannot govern a city; he cannot govern a city if he cannot govern a family; he cannot govern a family unless he can govern himself; and he cannot govern himself unless his passions are subject to reason” Hugo Grotius It is a real pleasure for me to present to the academic community, the Rafael Tamayo Franco first edition of EAFIT Journal of International Law. EAFIT University was International Law Coordinator created 50 years ago, by a group of young professionals who wanted EAFIT University to implement successful education models from North America. This University has grown up and continues to expand in a process that follows international standards and it is nowadays one of the most prominent Universities in Colombia. EAFIT Law School was created in the very year of the new millennium. Together, the focus on business, trade law and globalization, allowed the strengthening of the International Law Academic Area. Thus, an international law emphasis (major) was developed with an increasing number of students working as interns in several public and private international organizations. In this context, international affairs re- search and analysis found a home. Taking into consideration the positive and dramatic changes of Co- lombia in the last few years plus its role in the region and the capabili- ties of the coming generations, this Journal wants to be a forum for academic discussions about international legal issues; a publication by and for students, who will not keep silent when faced with an in- creasingly complex and inter-connected world.

The broken windows theory states that visible cues of physical and social disorder in a neighborhood can lead to an increase in more serious crime.
