Does one size fit all? The impact of cognitive skills on economic growth

2016

Les Documents de Travail de l'IREDU, n°2016-1; This paper tests for heterogeneous effects of cognitive skills on economic growth across countries. Using a new extended dataset on cognitive skills and controlling for potential endogeneity, we find that the magnitude of the effect is about 60 per cent higher for low-income countries compared to high-income countries, and it more than doubles when low TFP countries are compared to high TFP countries. There are also marked differences across geographic regions. Using data on the share of the population with advanced and minimum skill levels, our results also indicate that high-income countries should focus on increasing the number of high skill…

2012

Ce travail de recherche tend à apporter une mesure de réalisation de l'objectif du millénaire d'éducation pour tous en centrant, d'une part, la question géographique là où l' 'enjeu reste sensible: l'Afrique subsaharienne et aussi, d'autre-part, au sous-entendu de cet objectif que l'éducation offerte soit de qualité. Notre constat part des éléments de littérature venant de l'économie de l'éducation pour lesquels, si l'éducation primaire n'est pas perçue par des populations comme apportant des compétences de base de qualité, le risque est de voir tout effort éducatif contraint par découragement envers l'école. La démarche s'appuie sur l'analyse des modèles de mesure et les dispositifs d'éval…

2007

07003 - 17 p.; Les Documents de travail de l'IREDU 2007/3; Cette contribution a pour objectif d'analyser le changement de discours que porte la Banque mondiale sur la réforme de l'État en Afrique, et ce dans la sphère éducative. Après examen, il ressort que malgré les nouveaux discours de « lutte contre la pauvreté », la politique néo-libérale de la Banque mondiale accorde à l'État une place toujours aussi mineure dans la conception et l'exécution des politiques éducatives. On aurait pu croire à la réalité d'une évolution de la politique d'ajustement structurel stricte vers une politique d'ajustement social où des acquis fondamentaux seraient pris en compte concernant le domaine social.

Une réévaluation de l'Objectif de Scolarisation Primaire Universelle sous l'angle des acquis scolaires

2013

Cette présentation a pour objectif de proposer une analyse comparative de la qualité de l'éducation au sein des pays d'Afrique subsaharienne. Par qualité, nous entendons l'éducation non pas en termes d'allocations de moyen, mais de résultats de l'apprentissage des élèves. Il s'agit de la première analyse intégrant une trentaine de pays africains dans une optique de comparaison internationale des acquis scolaires. En fusionnant les deux évaluations existantes en Afrique subsaharienne, nous disposons d'indicateurs comparables sur les acquis des élèves pour 29 pays. Par ailleurs, étant donné que certains pays ont participé à plusieurs évaluations depuis les années 1990, il devient possible d'é…

Capital humain et croissance : l'apport des enquêtes internationales sur les acquis des élèves

2006

The estimation of the relationship between education and economic growth is marked by contradictions. These con­tradictions underline the lack of precision characterising indicators of human capital. This paper constructs new indi­cators based on a pool of international surveys concerning pupil assessment. Thus, our new database, which includes 105 countries, makes it possible to confirm or not the pos­itive relationship between education and growth. Taking into account the endogeneity of education, we measure a positive effect of qualitative indicators of human capital and the growth of countries between 1960 and 2000. The contri­bution of education to growth therefore appears significant,…

International database on human capital quality

2007

In this research work, we have used a methodology which enables us to obtain qualitative indicators of human capital (QIHC) for 105 countries. This methodology relies on the potential to reconsider survey results comparatively by analysing the results of countries which took part in at least two different surveys. This allowed us to build indicators of comparable data concerning the quality of human capital in numerous countries and between 1964-2005: our results represent a valuable comparison to what has been done so far.

Renforcer la mesure pour piloter la qualité de l'éducation

2013

Après une première phase consacrée aux évaluations internationales et régionales, nous nous attachons dans ce rapport à présenter un panorama sélectif des enquêtes nationales. L'accent ici sera placé sur la comparaison des méthodes : sont-elles différentes le long de l'échelle de développement ? En comparant des exemples le long de cette échelle, nous remarquerons l'impact du clivage sur le niveau d'initiative centrale ou décentralisée pour l'école. La pratique des enquêtes montre bien que si l'initiative reste décentralisée souvent l'évaluation peut conduire à décrire le degré d'harmonisation d'un système et offrir une mesure de la nécessité d'une certaine homogénéité du produit scolaire c…

This essay has for main goal to contribute in the domains of economics of education as well as the macroeconomics' explanation of the growth process. The thesis is structured in two segments whose include both three chapters. The first part is based on macro-economic side, while the second tends to specify certain visions responds to a micro-economic nature as to supplement interrogations resulting from the global solution of the quality of education.The first part consists in dealing about the methodology in the construction of alternate indicators concerning the quality and the inequality in distribution for human capital. The indicators on the quality of the human capital are set up on i…

Do school resources increase school quality ?

2010

The aim of this paper is to verify whether school resource factors have an impact on the quality of education. This latter is measured with the help of a unique database on student scores in international skills tests. The general difficulties inherent in this type of study are the possibility of endogeneity bias and measurement errors. After estimation bias correction, we show that improvement in the quality of educational systems does not necessarily require an increase in school resources. When an alternative indicator of the performance of educational systems is used, our results are confirmed. Consequently, one should remain cautious about recommending purely financial measures to impr…

Renforcer la mesure sur la qualité de l'éducation

2012

Les réflexions en cours sur le développement et les inégalités accroissent l'intérêt de mesurer les savoirs et les compétences des populations jeunes. Parmi les objectifs du Millénaire pour le développement, la lutte contre l'analphabétisme se fonde sur une éducation de qualité. La question de la création d'outils de mesure de la qualité de l'éducation est donc essentielle pour valider, universellement et équitablement, l'acquisition des apprentissages fondamentaux. Cette question est directement liée au développement, depuis 50 ans, de méthodes d'évaluation des acquisitions à l'origine des grandes enquêtes internationales comme PIRLS, TIMSS et PISA. Dans cet effort de connaissance sur la q…

The Unfolding of Gender Gap in Education

2015

The gender gap in education against females becomes smaller as the level of development increases and turns in their favor in developed countries. Through analysis of regional variation in the gender gap within Turkey, which displays a similar pattern to the crosscountry pattern, this paper studies the factors that lead to the emergence of a gender gap against females. The data for student achievement and aspirations for further education during compulsory school show that females are just as well prepared and motivated for further education as their male counterparts across regions with very different levels of development. Despite this fact, large gaps arise in high school registration an…

Une éducation pour tous de qualité : une analyse statistique sur les pays d'Afrique subsaharienne

2015

Cette étude est la première analyse comparative de la qualité de l'éducation en Afrique subsaharienne basée sur une trentaine de pays. La fusion des deux évaluations existantes en Afrique subsaharienne (SACMEQ et PASEC) permet de disposer d'indicateurs comparables pour vingt-neuf pays. Nous nous proposons d’ajuster ici l’objectif initial de la Scolarisation Primaire Universelle (SPU) à un objectif plus restrictif de Scolarisation Primaire Universelle de Qualité (SPUQ), où la majorité des élèves terminent le cycle primaire en ayant acquis un socle minimum de connaissances et de compétences en lecture et en mathématiques. Il ressort de cette analyse que certains systèmes éducatifs ayant améli…

A Macroeconomic Estimation of the Education Production Function

2007

07/002; The aim of this paper is to test the existence of an education production function based on data resulting from international surveys of pupil assets. The results of the estimates, using first the total sample, and then making distinctions according to the economic level of the country, show significant differences concerning the relationships between educational inputs and outputs. Thus, inconsistencies found in former analyses in terms of estimating the education production function can partially be explained by the fact that they failed to take into account the economic level of the countries analysed.

Smarter Teachers, Smarter Pupils? Some New Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa

2017

Document de travail du BETA, n°2017-35. En ligne sur : http://www.beta-umr7522.fr/productions/publications/2017/2017-35.pdf; We study the effect of teacher subject knowledge on student achievement in mathematics and reading by using a dataset from six Sub-Saharan African countries. By using a difference-indifference between pupils' and teachers' scores in two skills, we are able to avoid potential endogeneity bias. In most estimations, we do not find a significant teacher knowledge effect in most countries. The main reason is teacher absenteeism and the need to focus on core knowledge. Indeed, more knowledgeable teachers improve student learning only if certain conditions are met. For insta…
