Abstract

This paper evaluates the peer effects on individual academic performance. The identification strategy considers the architecture of friendship networks within classrooms, in addition to group and individual fixed effects. Estimates of spatial autoregressive models show that an increase of one standard deviation (sd) in peers’ math grade improves by 6% sds the student’s grade. Furthermore, when we also consider the indirect friendship bonds, the aggregate peer impact raises to 45% sds of the individual math grade.

同伴效应与学业成就:使用课堂水平学生友谊网络的空间模型估计

本文评估了同伴对个人学习成绩的影响。除了群体和个人的固定效应外，识别策略还考虑了课堂内友谊网络的结构。空间自回归模型的估计表明，同龄人的数学成绩增加一个标准差（sd），学生的成绩就会提高6%。此外，当我们还考虑到间接的友谊纽带时，同伴的总体影响提高到个人数学成绩的45%。

期刊介绍： The journal Economia Aplicada (Brazilian Journal of Applied Economics) is a quarterly publication of the Dept. of Economics of the Faculty of Economics, Business and Accounting of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto (FEA-RP/USP). It was first published in 1997 by the Dept. of Economics of FEA-USP and by FIPE, with the primary concern of filling an editorial gap in Brazil. The Journal"s interest is to publish solely scientific papers on applied economics. Nowadays it has the same goal. Its focus is to publish papers with economic analysis applied to specific problems of interest either to public or private sector, especially with quantitative results bringing theory and reality closer.
