Abstract

This research aims to assess the relevance of the municipal context on individual academic performance. To this end, micro data from the Instituto Colombiano para la Evaluación de la Educación Icfes and municipal information from the Centro de Estudios sobre Desarrollo Económico are used. Using these data sources, municipal incidence is evaluated by means of variables associated with the infant mortality rate, violence and land conflicts in the twentieth century, among others. All these analyses are carried out under a multilevel stage and considering interactions between different contexts. Among the results, the limited impact of the municipal context on individual performance stands out. Also, evidence in favour of the triple risk hypothesis is found, as well as a strong relationship between the school effect and the socioeconomic composition of the classroom.
