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.

    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.
