| description | This study evaluates the technical efficiency of students from 8 Latin American countries that participated in the PISA 2015 tests. The study was developed under a non-parametric methodology. For this, a product-oriented FDH model was used with a robust estimations approach and a Meta-frontier decomposition. The latter allows decomposing the total efficiency of the students, between that attributable to the student and that attributable to the country. The data used in the study comes from the PISA 2015 tests. The data used correspond to 35,880 observations from the same number of students who presented the aforementioned test. The results reveal that most of the inefficiency is due to the students themselves. Identifying Uruguay and Brazil as the countries with the lowest inefficiency score. And to Mexico and the Dominican Republic as those with the highest inefficiency score. |

And to Mexico and the Dominican Republic as those with the highest inefficiency score. En el presente estudio se evalúa la eficiencia técnica de estudiantes de 8 países de América Latina que participaron en las pruebas PISA 2015. El estudio se desarrolló bajo una metodología no paramétrica. Para ello, se empleó un modelo FDH con orientación al producto con un enfoque de estimaciones robustas y una descomposición de Metafrontera, esto último permite descomponer la eficiencia total de los estudiantes, entre la atribuible al estudiante y la atribuible al país. Los datos utilizados en el estudio provienen de las pruebas PISA 2015. Los datos utilizados corresponden 35,880 observaciones de igual número de estudiantes que presentaron la prueba mencionada. Los resultados revelan que la mayor parte de la ineficiencia se debe a los propios estudiantes. Identificando a Uruguay y Brasil como los países donde se presenta el menor puntaje de ineficiencia. Y a México y República Dominicana como los que presentan un mayor puntaje de ineficiencia.
