“…Specifically, he employed the seemingly unrelated regression model and estimated the effects of competition on students' academic achievement controlling for a series of educational inputs (spending, teacher/student ration etc.). The result showed that 10 out of 18 estimations were not statistically significant (Marlow, 2002). Moreover, when the estimates were significant, they were not consistent across the grades.…”

“…Employing the Herfindahl Index and Grade Level Performance Assessments dataset Marlow (2002) examined the effects of competition on students' academic performance in California. Although he concluded that greater competition improves student performance, the result of the study is somewhat mixed.…”

“…For example, the results of the study suggested that a one standard deviation decrease in HI was associated with a somewhat substantive increase in eighth grade reading scores (Effect Size=0.41) while the effect for fourth grade reading scores was moderately weak (Effect Size=0.22). Similarly, the effects of competition were fluctuating across the grades on math and writing (Marlow, 2002). Zanzig (1997) also examined the effect of competition on students' academic achievement in California, but he constructed the model in a somewhat different fashion.…”

Georgia implemented a nationwide, full scale school voucher program in 2005. The new voucher plan was designed with the intent to provide equitable distribution and efficient utilization of financial and human resources. By introducing the voucher scheme, the government hoped to promote competition among public as well as private schools to push them operate in a cost-effective way and consequently improve education quality. This study tries to identify the effect of increased competition on the quality of education as perceived by school principals and teachers in Georgia. More specifically, we study to identify if the voucher model, as a result of increased competition, has created an environment that is supportive to students in improving their academic performance. Our results suggest that school principals and teachers do not view competition as a force or stimulation towards better quality teaching and improved students' academic achievement.

“…Mais recentemente, esse autor, em parceria com outros estudiosos, concluiu que os recursos destinados às escolas nos Estados Unidos têm sido gastos de maneira improdutiva e não têm contribuído para um melhor desempenho dos discentes, dando importância, portanto, ao emprego dos recursos muito mais do que ao montante despendido (Hanushek, 1994, apud Lavy, 1998Hanushek, Rivkin, Taylor, 1996). Conclusão semelhante teve Marlow (2000), para quem o problema da baixa qualidade das escolas públicas americanas é a estrutura de monopólio do sistema educacional, e não a carência de recursos.…”

ResumoO presente artigo parte de uma revisão da literatura econômica internacional sobre determinantes do desempenho escolar para extrair daí algumas respostas quanto ao real impacto dos recursos escolares no desempenho de estudantes ao redor do mundo. A leitura dos estudos disponíveis permite aferir que essas respostas variam, pois dependem da metodologia e da amostra utilizadas, alimentando uma polarização entre os que admitem e os que rejeitam a influência de insumos escolares no aprendizado. Contudo, observa-se uma relativa harmonia no tocante à importância das condições socioeconômicas e das habilidades previamente adquiridas para o desempenho estudantil, embora essas questões encontrem alguma objeção. Palavras-chave: recursos escolares, desempenho escolar, eficácia da escola, eficácia das políticas públicas. ResumenEste artículo hace una revisión de la literatura económica internacional sobre los factores determinantes de la performance estudiantil, con el objetivo de identificar el real impacto de los recursos escolares en el desempeño de los estudiantes al rededor del mundo. Las recercas encontradas indican que ese impacto varia a depender de la metodología y de la muestra utilizadas. El debate es basicamente polarizado entre aquellos que aceptan y aquellos que niegan algún grado de influencia de los recursos escolares en el aprendizaje. A pesar de haber una cierta concordancia sobre la importancia de las condiciones socioeconómicas y del aprendizaje anterior del pupilo en su desempeño, aún para tales factores es posible encontrar autores que la contestan. Palabras-clave: recursos escolares, desempeño estudiantil, eficacia de la escuela, eficacia de las políticas públicas. * Agradeço ao Prof. Dr. Robert E. Verhine, da Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA), por ler e discutir comigo este artigo ao longo de sua elaboração, e ao Prof. Dr. José Sérgio Gabrielli de Azevedo, por ter orientado o meu trabalho de conclusão do curso de Economia durante o período em que o capítulo de revisão de literatura, que deu origem a este artigo, foi escrito. Agradeço, ainda, aos membros da Banca Examinadora, Prof. Dr.Luís Filgueiras e Prof. Dr. André Garcez Ghirardi, e a Luiz Ricardo Cavalcante. Educacional, v. 18, n. 36, jan./abr. 2007 116 Abstract This article provides a review of the international economic literature on the factors that affect student achievement in order to search for some evidence of the real impact of school resources on student achievement around the World. The available studies show that such evidence varies according to the methodology and the sample used in each of them. Basically the debate is polarized by those who accept and those who reject a certain degree of influence of school resources on learning. Both sides agree on the importance of students' socioeconomic status and previous knowledge for good academic achievement, although authors can be found who contest even the role of such factors.
