Ítem Is the wage curve formal or informal? Evidence for Colombia(ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 2010-11-01) Ramos, Raul; Duque, Juan C.; Surinach, Jordi; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Economía y Finanzas; Research in Spatial Economics (RISE)Using microdata from the 2002-2006 Colombian Continuous Household Survey, we find an elasticity of individual wages to local unemployment rates of - 0.07. However, the elasticity for informal workers is significantly higher, a result which is consistent with efficiency wage theoretical models and relevant for regional labour market analysis in developing countries. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.Ítem Learning outcomes and dropout intentions: An analytical model for Spanish universities(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2013-07-01) Duque, Lola C.; Duque, Juan C.; Surinach, Jordi; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Economía y Finanzas; Research in Spatial Economics (RISE)The dropout rate among Spanish university students is very high compared to the European mean, creating a pressing need for the introduction of policies and programmes aimed at increasing rates of persistence. In this article, we study this problem by combining students' perceived learning outcomes with their dropout intentions, and we propose a research model that considers subjective factors that might impact this decision. The model is estimated for two degree courses: Business Administration and Nursing. The estimation method uses structural equations based on the partial least squares algorithm. This allows the construction of indices for the variables of interest, enabling us to make comparisons between courses and over time. To reduce dropout intentions, efforts need to be focused on obtaining better cognitive outcomes, as well as on achieving a higher level of student satisfaction with their university experience. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
