| description |
This paper assembles a panel data set
that measures cognitive achievement for 128 countries around
the world from 1965 to 2010 in 5-year intervals. The data
set is constructed from international achievement tests,
such as the Programme for International Student Assessment
and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science
Study, which have become increasingly available since the
late 1990s. These international assessments are linked to
regional ones, such as the South and Eastern African
Consortium for Monitoring of Educational Quality, the
Programme d'Analyse des Systemes Educatifs de la
Confemen, and the Laboratorio Latinoamericano de Evaluacion
de la Calidad de la Educacion, in order to produce one of
the first globally comparable data sets on student
achievement. In particular, the data set is one of the first
to include achievement in developing countries, including 29
African countries and 19 Latin American countries. The paper
also provides a first attempt at using the data set to
identify causal factors that boost achievement. The results
show that key drivers of global achievement are civil rights
and economic freedom across all countries, and democracy and
economic freedom in a subset of African and Latin American countries. |
