Generalized ordered logistic model were estimated for educatio­nal achievement. The results display that for Afro-descendants in Brazil and Colombia is less likely to achieve higher educational level than non Afro-descendants, but with a stronger and more significant effect in Colombia. These results suggest the presence of a pre-market discrimination in both countries, and would support the implementation of affirmative action policies in education.</p> <p class="Pa53"> </p>}, number={29}, journal={Sociedad y Economía}, author={Viáfara López, Carlos Augusto and Serna Alvarado, Nini Johanna}, year={2015}, month={Jun.}, pages={151–174} }
