Resumo: The performance differential between students from military and civilian schools cannot be attributed only to the school effect, since factors such as family characteristics, accumulation of knowledge and the selection process established by military schools can generate a bias in performance. This work investigates whether there is still a military school effect in empirical models of proficiency a la Hanushek (2016), once these factors are controlled. A longitudinal administrative database for public schools in Ceará was used, following students in fifth and ninth grades, who were selected by CEM (Coarsened Exact Matching) matching method related to performance in base year. It was found that the lack of control for selection bias and former performance increases the military school effect by one and a half times in traditional models. However, even controlling these factors, the military school effect is still significant.

Este trabalho investiga se ainda persiste um efeito escola militar em modelos empíricos de proficiência a la Hanushek (2016), uma vez que esses fatores são controlados. Utilizou-se uma base de dados administrativos longitudinal para escolas públicas do Ceará, acompanhando alunos no 5o e no 9o ano, os quais foram selecionados pelo método de pareamento CEM (Coarsened Exact Matching) com relação ao desempenho no ano base. Verificou-se que a falta de controle para o viés de seleção e para desempenhos passados majora o efeito escola militar em uma vez e meia nos modelos tradicionais. Entretanto, mesmo controlando esses fatores, o efeito escola militar ainda é significante.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/3929Nova Economia; Vol. 30 No. 1 (2020); 317-343Nova Economia; v. 30 n. 1 (2020); 317-3431980-53810103-6351reponame:Nova Economia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/3929/3111Copyright (c) 2020 Alesandra Benevides, Ricardo Brito Soaresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBenevides, AlesandraSoares, Ricardo Brito2020-10-04T22:21:26Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/3929Revistahttps://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
