description | This research reports the results of a survey carried out by the Departmentof Economics of the National University of La Plata. Subjects were 4676regular students of the school who participated on a voluntay basis. Wehave estimated the determinants of the students' performance. To this aimwe have measured performance in three ways: the number of subjectspassed per year,the average mark, and a combination of the two previousaverages. We have found that performance depends on the programe ofstudy (higher for economics), the sex (higher for women), the age (higherfor younger), the parents' education, the type of secondary school, and theregulations of the school about the condition of regular student. Theperformance is lower for students who work and decreases as the numberofworking hours increases. |

Este trabajo presenta los resultados de una encuesta realizada por el Departamento de Economía de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata en la que participaron voluntariamente 4676 alumnos regulares de la Facultad. Se estiman los determinantes del rendimiento estudiantil definido como cantidad de materias aprobadas por año, nota promedio y una combinación de esas dos medidas. El rendimiento depende de la carrera que cursan (mayor para economía), el sexo (mayor para las mujeres), la edad (mayor para los más jóvenes), la educación de los padres, el tipo de escuela secundaria y las regulaciones de la facultad sobre la condición de alumno regular. El rendimiento es menor para los estudiantes que trabajan y disminuye con el número de horas trabajadas. Instituto de Economía y Finanzas. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas.
