Abstract

Drawing on PISA 2012 data, in this paper we study the impact of school’s socio-economic composition on the science test scores for Spanish lower-secondary education students. We adopt a semi-parametric methodology that enables spillovers to affect all the parameters in the educational production function. We also deal with the issue of endogenous students’ sorting into schools with better socio-economic composition. The positive effect of school’s socio-economic composition is stronger when computed using the semi-parametric approach, suggesting the relevance of slope effects of school com-position. However, the spillovers are substantially reduced when the endogenous sorting of students is controlled for.

西班牙的学校构成效应:考虑截距和斜率效应

本文利用PISA 2012数据，研究了学校社会经济构成对西班牙初中学生科学测试成绩的影响。我们采用半参数方法，使溢出效应影响教育生产函数中的所有参数。我们还处理了内生学生被分类到社会经济成分更好的学校的问题。当使用半参数方法计算时，学校社会经济构成的积极影响更强，这表明学校构成的斜率效应的相关性。然而，当控制学生的内生排序时，溢出效应大大降低。
