dc.description.abstractEl presente artículo aporta a la teoría económica un modelo dinámico estructural que demuestra  matemáticamente tanto el efecto positivo que tienen los salarios en las decisiones intertemporales de inversión en capital humano de los trabajadores, como la existencia de un círculo dinámico virtuoso entre salarios y capital humano. Entre las características deseables del modelo se encuentra que ofrece una solución analítica, permitiendo la obtención de reglas de decisión óptima para cada variable de elección y la calibración de sus parámetros utilizando estadísticas observadas; esto favorece su fácil implementación por parte de los responsables de las políticas públicas y los investigadores. Las estadísticas construidas y los resultados de la aplicación empírica del modelo a la economía mexicana en vías de desarrollo apoyan las conclusiones matemáticas. El modelo predice dos niveles referentes de rendimiento bruto al capital humano y sus correspondientes salarios, por nivel educativo. Abajo del segundo referente, el capital humano proveniente de la educación formal se desvanece a través del tiempo, debido a que la inversión es menor a la  depreciación; abajo del primer referente, los trabajadores  dejan de invertir. Desafortunadamente, alrededor del 40% y 20% de los trabajadores mexicanos se encuentran localizados debajo de estos salarios de referencia,  respectivamente.
dc.description.abstractThis paper provides economic theory with a dynamic structural model that mathematically proves both a positive effect of wages on the workers’ human capital intertemporal investment decisions and the existence of a virtuous dynamic cycle between wages and human capital. Among the desired characteristics of the proposed model is that it has an analytical solution, permitting the  achievement of an optimal decision rule for each choice variable and the calibration of its parameters using observed data; this favors an easy implementation by policymakers and researchers. The constructed statistics and the results of the empirical application of the model, to the Mexican developing economy, support the  mathematical conclusions. The model predicts two  benchmark human capital gross returns and their  corresponding wages, by levels of education. Below the  second one, human capital coming from formal education  vanishes over time, due to investment not being enough to  offset its depreciation; below the first one, workers stop  investing in education. Unfortunately, around 40%  and 20% of Mexican workers are located below them,  respectively.
