These adverse conditions could lead teachers to refuse to work in disadvantaged locations that are characterised by high incidences of poverty and low-performing students. In this paper, we estimate how poverty in the districts where the schools are situated influences the probability that teachers accept a job offer in Costa Rica. Working with data on contract offers acceptance or rejection is a methodological novelty that makes it possible to dissociate students’ poverty from the poverty of the schools’ location. The estimation of a three-level hierarchical model allows us to deal with aggregation bias and unobserved heterogeneity. The results show evidence that district poverty is a key determinant of teachers’ rejection of offers. Although the study uses data from Costa Rica, the results indicate more generally, how educational inequity can perpetuate poverty. 000148016 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/EDU2016-76414-R 000148016 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000148016 590__ $$a1.8$$b2023 000148016 591__ $$aECONOMICS$$b241 / 600 = 0.402$$c2023$$dQ2$$eT2 000148016 591__ $$aDEVELOPMENT STUDIES$$b32 / 63 = 0.508$$c2023$$dQ3$$eT2 000148016 592__ $$a1.029$$b2023 000148016 593__ $$aDevelopment$$c2023$$dQ1 000148016 594__ $$a5.2$$b2023 000148016 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000148016 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0003-3702-4017$$aGimenez, Gregorio$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148016 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-3291-4603$$aValbuena, Javier$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000148016 7102_ $$14014$$2225$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
