The results indicate that school segregation is higher in the actual scenario than in the counterfactual scenario, which suggests that the interaction between family preferences and school entry barriers (tuition and selective admission process) tend to increase school segregation beyond the city’s underlying residential segregation. 2016-12-06T15:31:44Z 2016-12-06T15:31:44Z 2016-08 Texto Sección o Parte de un Documento http://hdl.handle.net/11362/40792 LC/G.2683-P 7 en CEPAL Review CEPAL Review 119 .pdf application/pdf CHILE CHILE
