Macroeconomic Mechanism & Empirical Model Grounding
Following President Nayib Bukele's commitment (praised by Elon Musk with "Bravo!"), dedicating 8% of sovereign GDP to education places El Salvador well above the Latin American median (~4.2%) and matches leading innovation economies. The simulation models endogenous growth theory (Lucas-Romer framework) where primary and secondary educational investment yields lagged productivity dividends, tech talent expansion, and tax base expansion.
