DOS SANTOS ALENCAR, Nataniele; ANDRADE DE ARAUJO, Jair; RIBEIRO JUSTO, Wellington  and  BRITO SOBREIRA, Diogo. DIFERENTES CARACTERÍSTICAS DOS PROFESSORES EXPLICAM O GAP EDUCACIONAL ENTRE ESCOLAS URBANAS E RURAIS NO BRASIL?. Estud. econ. [online]. 2021, vol.38, n.76, pp.45-68. ISSN 2525-1295.

The study aims to analyze how differences in teacher characteristics may explain the gap in educational performance of 9th grade students between urban and rural public schools in Brazil in 2017. The results show that teachers with a degree in area that teaches positively and significantly influence the performance in Portuguese Language and Mathematics, the effect being greater for students of rural schools. However, this influence declined as the quantile in both areas increased. Moreover, the decomposition suggests that the aggregate contribution of differences in teacher characteristics, and their coefficients, to differentials is small compared to the aggregate effect of other characteristics.
