This article aims to investigate the spatial effect of the quality of human capital and to identify if there is educational spillover from higher education in the proficiencies of elementary students. Although the role of geographical aspects has been studied in several academic areas, in the literature on the economics of education such studies are incipient and the few existing contributions use the stock of education as the object of analysis. The present study differs by using proficiency as a proxy for quality and also by examining the spillover effect of the presence and quality of university courses in the area of education. The results indicate a strong spatial dependence, suggesting the spatial dimension influences school performance. On the other hand, higher education institutions influence school performance in the municipality of origin, but not that of neighboring municipalities.

本文旨在调查人力资本质量的空间效应，并确定在基础学生的能力方面是否存在来自高等教育的教育溢出效应。尽管已经在几个学术领域研究了地理因素的作用，但在有关教育经济学的文献中，这类研究才刚刚起步，很少有现有的研究将教育存量作为分析的对象。本研究的不同之处在于，以熟练程度作为质量的代表，还通过检查教育领域大学课程的存在和质量的溢出效应。结果表明强烈的空间依赖性，表明空间维度影响学校的表现。另一方面，
