Abstract
Drawing on PISA 2012 data, in this paper we study the impact of school’s socio-economic composition on the science test scores for Spanish lower-secondary education students. We adopt a semi-parametric methodology that enables spillovers to affect all the parameters in the educational production function. We also deal with the issue of endogenous students’ sorting into schools with better socio-economic composition. The positive effect of school’s socio-economic composition is stronger when computed using the semi-parametric approach, suggesting the relevance of slope effects of school com-position. However, the spillovers are substantially reduced when the endogenous sorting of students is controlled for.

In addition to regular submissions, the journal welcomes submissions of:
-Survey Reviews, containing surveys of the literature regarding issues of interest in the Public Economics field;
-Policy oriented reviews, showing the current contributions of Public Economics in relation to relevant contemporary issues affecting public decision-makers in the real world (Policy Watch);
-Comments of previously published articles. Contributions to this section should be limited to a maximum of 2 000 words (12 pages). If deemed adequate, the authors of the commented article will be given the opportunity to react in a Reply. Both Comment and Reply will be published together.
