To approach this subject, the methodology used is descriptive, non-experimental, longitudinal and correlational for the use and analysis of the information obtained, which together with the Stata14 program and the application of the Cobb Douglas log-log model, it was possible to apply, analyze and describe the database obtained under the different estimation techniques.
