Inequality of educational opportunity and time-varying circumstances: Longitudinal evidence from Peru

Université Paris1 Panthéon-Sorbonne (Post-Print and Working Papers) from HAL

Abstract: This document provides for the first time in the literature both lower and upper bounds estimates of inequality of opportunity on learning achievement in Peru. It exploits an unusual and rich longitudinal data set on a cohort of children who have been followed for fifteen years almost since they were born. This feature allows for studying empirically the role of time-varying circumstances, a problem that has been neglected until present in the inequality of opportunity literature. In this context, the sensitivity of the upper bound methodology proposed by Niehues and Peichl (2014) is evaluated.
