“…According to the authors, the gap in academic performance between private and public schools is not due so much to differences in the education provided as to socioeconomic conditions. However, the heterogeneity of results in the literature requires further research in this line of work (Zimmer and Toma 2000;Somers et al 2004;Castro-Aristizabal et al 2018).…”

A Proposal of Spatial Measurement of Peer Effect through Socioeconomic Indices and Unsatisfied Basic Needs

This paper investigates peer effects in the academic achievement of Costa Rican students. Two measures of peer effects are used: (1) a measure of a schools’ average socioeconomic status and (2) a measure of unsatisfied basic needs at district level. The estimation of a three-level hierarchical model allows us to deal with selection bias and unobserved heterogeneity. Results show that socioeconomic peer effect, both at school and district levels, positively and significantly correlates with academic achievement. An increase in one standard deviation in the socioeconomic index has the same effect on academic achievement as an additional year of schooling; two years if the improvement occurs in the index of unsatisfied basic needs. These results are robust for mathematics, reading and science. Results from quantile regression reveal that students with high academic achievement take greater advantages from studying in schools with higher socioeconomic status (mathematics and reading). Meanwhile, students with low academic achievement are the most affected by studying in poorer districts (mathematics and science).These results show the strong feedback between educational and social inequity and constitute a good example of how poverty traps can persist in developing countries.

“…Basados en datos de la CEPAL (Castro, Giménez, & Peréz, 2018), se mencionan que en América Latina, especialmente en países como Argentina, Brasil, Costa Rica, Chile, Colombia, México y Perú, se establecen diferentes condicionantes al nivel familiar e individual al momento de adquirir conocimientos, entre estos están; el nivel de educación que tienen los padres, falta de útiles escolares, malos hábitos de comportamientos adquiridos en ambientes familiares inestables, entre otros.…”

El rendimiento académico es una de las problemáticas que está latente en la actualidad, este brinda información sobre los aprendizajes de los escolares. Dentro del estudio se tuvo en cuenta la incidencia de la familia que afecta específicamente el rendimiento de los estudiantes en el contexto escolar donde se evidencia los factores como la inasistencia a clases y el desempeño académico. El trabajo tiene como finalidad analizar el impacto que ocasionan los problemas familiares en el rendimiento académico del alumnado. Se empleó un diseño cuasi experimental con un enfoque cualitativo, se obtuvo un alcance transversal descriptivo de la investigación. Se aplicó una encuesta a una muestra de sujetos entre profesores, padres de familia y estudiantes para obtener los datos del rendimiento académico de los estudiantes se tomó los resultados de las evaluaciones del trimestre de la Básica Elemental, y un Test del funcionamiento familiar a docentes de la unidad educativa y a padres de familia. Se obtuvo como resultado que la familia influye en el desempeño de los estudiantes, los padres de cierto modo castigan a sus hijos y no muestran interés por el rendimiento académico de sus hijos, como resultado de esto se muestra estudiantes que no cumplen con sus tareas.

“…Although these decomposition techniques have been used in different fields in economy, they have hardly been applied to the empirical study of economic growth, in spite of their advantages. These techniques have been used, for example, to understand the causes of inequality and poverty [14,15] and differences in wages [16,17] and in educational achievement [18][19][20][21][22][23]. Firstly, they make possible the quantification of the relative contribution of explanatory variables and, therefore, the identification of which factors have contributed the most to economic growth.…”

The Use of Decomposition Methods to Understand the Economic Growth Gap between Latin America and East Asia

2021

Understanding how growth factors contribute to explaining the large differences in growth rates across countries remains an important research agenda. The common approach to exploring this issue is based on the use of multiple linear regression analyses. This work contributes to growth literature by applying a new perspective based on the use of variance decomposition procedures: Shapley–Owen–Shorrocks and Oaxaca–Blinder. These methodologies have four main advantages with respect to traditional methodologies: they make possible the quantification of the relative contribution of each factor to economic growth, they allow us to estimate the efficiency in the use of the endowments of each factor, they can be used with any functional form and they can be used with estimation methods that are robust regarding endogeneity issues. We illustrate these advantages by analyzing the causes of the economic growth gap between Latin America and East Asia over the period 1980–2014. We find that the economic growth divergence between the two regions can be primarily explained by the differences in institutions and physical capital. In addition, the results indicate that the higher East Asian performance is not only due to its higher levels of endowments in these factors, but also to the higher efficiency in its use. We connect our results with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
