description This study aims to evaluate the effects of bullying on the school performance of Brazilian students. The procedure of propensity score matching is used to find students not involved with bullying comparable to those involved with the practice. We use microdata from the National Survey of School Health (PENSE) 2015 in the 9th gradeof elementary school. The main results indicate that practicing bullying decreased school performance by up 1.9 percent, while being a victim of bullying increased performance by up 2.6 percent. These findings point to the need to identify the groups most likely to commit bullying and develop public policies that promote prevention of this practice.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar os efeitos do bullying na performance escolar dos alunos brasileiros. Utiliza-se o procedimento de propensity score matching para encontrar alunos não envolvidos com bullying comparáveis aos envolvidos com a prática. São utilizados os microdados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde do Escolar (Pense) de 2015 de discentes do nono ano do ensino fundamental. Os principais resultados do trabalho indicam que praticar bullying diminuiu a performance escolar em até 1,9%, ao passo que ser vítima de bullying aumentou a performance em até 2,6%. Esses achados apontam a necessidade de identificar os grupos mais propensos a cometer bullying e desenvolver políticas públicas que promovam a prevenção dessa prática.
