Resumo: This study aims to investigate the influence of the neighborhood over the students' performance in the public school system of Recife, Brazil. Specifically, we investigate empirically the existence of a relation among the students’ performance and the characteristics of their neighborhoods, and the mechanisms by which this influence occurs. For that, we use the data set of the Fundaj (2013) to build, in a pioneer way in Brazil, the neighborhood variables of the students regarding small geographic scales. Our econometric results indicate that the students that live in privileged neighborhoods tend to show higher scores than the others. The peer composition analysis suggests that only the proportion of the grade repetition influences the students' math grades.

Especificamente, o trabalho investiga empiricamente a existência de uma relação entre o desempenho do aluno e as características de sua vizinhança e os mecanismos pelos quais atua essa influência. Para tanto, utiliza-se a base de dados da Fundaj (2013) para construir, de forma pioneira no Brasil, as variáveis de vizinhança dos alunos da cidade considerando pequenas escalas geográficas. Os resultados dos exercícios econométricos indicam que os alunos residentes em uma vizinhança mais privilegiada tendem a apresentar, em média, melhor desempenho em matemática. Na análise que considera a composição dos pares de vizinhança, os resultados sugerem que a proporção de repetentes influenciaria o desempenho de matemática.Departamento de Ciências Econômicas da UFMG2020-06-10info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/4512Nova Economia; Vol. 30 No. 1 (2020); 287-4512Nova Economia; v. 30 n. 1 (2020); 287-45121980-53810103-6351reponame:Nova Economia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/4512/3110Copyright (c) 2020 Julia Rocha Araujo, Raul da Mota Silveira Netoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAraujo, Julia RochaSilveira Neto, Raul da Mota2020-10-04T22:21:26Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/4512Revistahttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomiaPUBhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/oai||ne@face.ufmg.br1980-53810103-6351opendoar:2020-10-04T22:21:26Nova Economia (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
