Resumo(s)
This paper analyses whether schools with better scores in National Exams are in
regions NUTs III with greater purchasing power. Accordingly, we analyse the evolution of the
ranking of schools considering the purchasing power of the regions where they are located. Using
data collected in the media, related to school rankings by region for 2008 and 2014; and in Pordata
database for regional purchasing power in 2007 and 2011; we calculate location and specialization
measures and perform a regional shift-share analysis. The results show that schools
located in regions with very high and high purchasing powers rank first; and both structural and
regional changes are positive. A notable exception is the region of Alto Alentejo with a medium
purchasing power. In contrast, regions with low purchasing power show negative structural and
regional changes. These results indicate that, with an exception, the gap between regions of low
and high purchasing powers has been perpetuated.
