Exploring peer effects in education in Latin America and the Caribbean

This paper assesses peer group influence on academic performance of primary school students in Latin America and the Caribbean. Based on TERCE data set, we investigate peer effects in mathematics and language tests outcomes among sixth grade students. We apply the model proposed in Lee (2007), which...
