Abstract

(Disponible en idioma inglés únicamente) En este trabajo se investigan los efectos de las sacudidas económicas de corta duración sobre el avance de los niños a lo largo del sistema educativo en zonas urbanas de Brasil, empleándose un conjunto único de datos de panel. El grave problema de la repetición de grados en Brasil contribuye con los niveles educativos en general bajos del país. De los niños entre 10 y 15 años de edad que están inscritos en una escuela, sólo 69% en promedio pasan de grado. En este trabajo se investiga si el esfuerzo que le ponen los niños a la tarea escolar se ve disminuido cuando los padres experimentan una desmejora transitoria en sus ingresos.
