Inside the Black Box of Ability Peer Effects: Evidence from Variation in the Proportion of Low Achievers In the Classroom
Abstract
We estimate the extent of ability peer effects and explore the mechanisms through which they operate. Using within‐school variation in the proportion of low‐ability students in Israeli schools, we find that the proportion of low‐ability peers has a negative effect on the performance of regular students. An exploration of the underlying mechanisms show that, relative to regular students, low‐ability students report higher levels of satisfaction with their teachers. However, a higher proportion of low‐ability students has detrimental effects on teachers’ pedagogical practices and on the quality of inter‐student and student–teacher relationships, and increases the level of violence and classroom disruptions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
