Abstract
In this research we assess the performance trends of the OECD education systems in terms of equity. To do that, we apply a novel methodology that combines a robust conditional Benefit of the Doubt (BoD) model with Malmquist indexes. This approach allows us to compare the performance of education systems over time based on a comprehensive indicator, without losing its multidimensional nature and respecting the different priorities and peculiarities of each educational system, making the comparison between countries fairer. This assessment enables us to identify which educational systems have improved their performance in equity over time (best practices) and which countries have a greater room for improvement. In addition, we assess the impact of different institutional factors and educational policies (e.g., early tracking, school choice systems, ability grouping and retention grade practices, scholarship and voucher programs, among others) on equity performance, in order to identify effective interventions to promote more equitable education systems.
