No. of bitstreams: 1 2016_dis_lfdsantos.pdf: 1161764 bytes, checksum: 657efde122aaf7a32fa71aa91069e159 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016 / For understanding how networks a ect the behavior of individuals, speci - cally the behavior os students in the last year of high school inside the classroom, we estimate a model of Network e ects, the Local-average model for two behavioral variables: doing an exam without being prepared and cheating in an exam, in order to understand how the behavior of individual's friends a ects his or her behavior. It was found a positive and statistically signi cant e ect for the network e ect of the probability of doing an exam without being prepared, and a positive, but not signi cant e ect for the network e ect of the probability of cheating in an exam. This result shows that policies or actions aiming the reduction of the probability of a student do an exam without being prepared have what is called social multiplier e ect, because besides this policy change the behavior of the student regarding this variable, his or her change of behavior a ects positively the behavior of people in his or her network. / Para entender de que forma as networks afetam o comportamento dos indiv duos, em espec co o comportamento de estudantes no ultimo ano do ensino m edio dentro da sala de aula, estimamos um modelo de Network e ects, o Localaverage Model para duas vari aveis comportamentais: fazer uma prova ou teste sem ter se preparado e colar em uma prova, a m de entender como o comportamento dos amigos de um indiv duo afeta o comportamento do mesmo. Encontrou-se uma efeito positivo e estatisticamente signi cante para o network e ect da probabilidade de se fazer uma prova ou teste sem ter se preparado, e um efeito positivo, mas n~ao signi cante para o network e ect da probabilidade de se colar em uma prova. Este resultado mostra que pol ticas ou a c~oes que visam a redu c~ao da probabilidade de um estudante fazer um exame sem se preparar tem o que se chama social multiplier e ect, pois al em dessa pol tica mudar o comportamento do estudante em rela c~ao a essa vari avel, sua mudan ca de comportamento afeta positivamente o comportamento das pessoas em sua network.
