Abstract

This research intends to examine whether in Cali (Colombia), there are positive externalities for human capital (education) regarding individual incomes of working individuals, using the Survey of Income and Life Quality 2013, with which were made groups called "types of business", differentiated by their endowment in human capital. Through the estimation of mincerian equations (under the methodology of hierarchical models) it is found evidence that relates the characteristics of the working environment with individual behavior. It should be clarified that the estimates were realized after performing test of selection bias. In addition, the same analysis is carried out by differentiating the effect of externalities
between "qualified" and "unskilled" individuals, as proposed by Moretti (2004).
