Ítem Decomposing the Rural-Urban Differential in Student Achievement in Colombia using PISA Microdata(Universidad de Valladolid, 2016-05-01) Ramos, Raul; Carlos Duque, Juan; Nieto, Sandra; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Economía y Finanzas; Research in Spatial Economics (RISE)This article examines the differences in educational outcomes between students attending schools in rural areas and those enrolled in urban schools in Colombia.

Our evidence supports the need to complement actions addressed to rural schools with policies improving household conditions.Ítem Is the wage curve formal or informal?
