Resumo(s)
Educational stratification has been a difficult subject to deal with having yet no study shown a quantitative measure of it. Using the idea of distribution comparison a measure based on parents’ education is built for the primary schools in Lisbon. Upon the
confirmation that Lisbon is stratified, I use the measure of peer effects based on
stratification and determine its impact on test scores, concluding that the existence of
stratification improves scores of students in schools with more educated parents and
decreases scores of students in schools with less educated parents. Moreover, using fixed
effects I derive the conclusion that the measure of peers’ characteristics helps explain most of differences among schools.
