  1. Source: PISA 2006, own calculations. Notes: standard deviations in parentheses; ** = significant at the 0.05 level, * = significant at the 0.1 level. ª Between parentheses, the explained variance (in %) at respectively destination, origin, and individual level, as compared to model 0 (Table 3). As recommended by Snijders and Bosker (1999), the explained variance at the individual level is computed by calculating the change in total variance.
