ALAPE GAMEZ, Carlos David  e  ALAPE GAMEZ, Ana Alejandra. Salary Returns of ESAP Public Administration Program Graduates. Soc. Econ. [online]. 2024, n.51, e10712777.  Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 1657-6357.  https://doi.org/10.25100/sye.v0i51.12777.

The aim of this research is to identify the factors influencing the salary returns of Public Administration graduates from the Escuela Superior de Administración Pública (ESAP). We conducted a characterization of the labor structure using data from the 2021 Graduate Survey. This analysis is grounded in the Human Capital Theory, and the methodology extends the returns function proposed by Mincer (1974). The models we estimated reveal that higher levels of education correlate with higher average earnings. However, we also identified potential wage gaps among graduates with specializations and master’s degrees in public administration, as the latter group earns between 4% and 26% more than those with undergraduate degrees.
