How competition affects schools' performances: Does specification matter?

Tommaso Agasisti ()

Economics Letters, 2011, vol. 110, issue 3, 259-261

Abstract: I investigate the role of competition in explaining Italian schools' performance through OECD-PISA2006 data. In a baseline model, three competition indicators are included separately; when allowing their presence simultaneously and the interaction terms, a different (and more realistic) story emerges.
