In the educational field one aim of the research is to evaluate the school or university effectiveness. In particular, the researcher is usually interested in obtaining a rank of the institutions and multilevel modeling is a widely applied tool to achieve this goal. This paper focuses on the evaluation of the robustness of the ranking obtained with multilevel models in case of different misspecifications of the model. The analyses are carried out through Monte Carlo simulations.

Abstract
In the educational field one aim of the research is to evaluate the school or university effectiveness. In particular, the researcher is usually interested in obtaining a rank of the institutions and multilevel modeling is a widely applied tool to achieve this goal. This paper focuses on the evaluation of the robustness of the ranking obtained with multilevel models in case of different misspecifications of the model. The analyses are carried out through Monte Carlo simulations.
