Correa, Hector – Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 1980
Applies the methods used in the analysis of input-output tables to the study of interdependence among the different subdivisions of organizations. (Author/IRT)
Descriptors: Administration, Administrative Organization, Input Output Analysis, Mathematical Models

Cohn, Elchanan; And Others – Journal of Education Finance, 1980
Describes and provides a simulation of an input-output, goal-programing technique that uses efficiency criteria as prerequisites for state aid payments and provides for the sharing of managerial know-how between the state and local school districts. (Author/IRT)

Navarro-Perez, M. C.; Serrano-Sanz, J. M. – Education Economics, 2002
Develops a valuation model of educational output based on individual earnings from cross-sectional data; describes the problems associated with defining certain elements of the model and proposes adjustments related thereto; uses model to estimate the value of university education in Spain. (Contains 68 references.) (PKP)

Bessent, Authella M.; Bessent, E. Wailand – Educational Administration Quarterly, 1980
A newly developed input/output method for comparing the efficiency of urban elementary schools is presented. The method results in the identification of efficient and inefficient schools and provides management information relative to input and output measures. (Author/IRT)

Simpson, William A. – 1982
In the last decade, a modeling technique has been developed to handle complex input/output analyses where outputs involve joint products and there are no known mathematical relationships linking the outputs or inputs. The technique uses the geometrical concept of a six-dimensional shape called a polytope to analyze the efficiency of each…

Dolan, Robert C.; Schmidt, Robert M. – Economics of Education Review, 1994
Examines the relative contributions of human and physical resources in the production of private undergraduate higher education. The parameters in the output equation suggest a traditional recipe: a relatively high ratio of quality faculty to good students in a facilitating environment reflected by academic expenditure. Better students are drawn…

Boardman, A. E.; Schinnar, A. P. – Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 1982
Develops an input-output model, with related multipliers, showing how changes in earmarked and discretionary educational funds (whether local, state, or federal) affect all of a state's districts and educational programs. Illustrates the model with Pennsylvania data and relates it to the usual educational finance approach, which uses demand…

Bowles, Tyler J.; Bosworth, Ryan – Journal of Education Finance, 2002
Begins with a discussion of cost and efficiency in education. Presents an empirical model to estimate school-level economies of scale. Applies model to expenditure data set by school from 17 Wyoming school districts. Finds that it costs more per student in a small school than in large schools to achieve similar educational outcomes, thus…

Filippini, Luigi – Economics of Education Review, 1981
Using an input-output framework, the author derives hypotheses on wage differentials based on the assumption that human capital (in this case, education) will explain workers' wage differentials. The hypothetical wage differentials are tested on data from the Italian economy. (RW)

Bishop, John H. – Industrial and Labor Relations Review, 1979
The paper specifies mathematically the demand and supply functions for interacting factor markets to characterize the impact of alternative antipoverty programs. Wage subsidies were found to be the most transfer-efficient, implying that education and training is the most cost-effective means of aiding the low-skilled. (MF)

Ritzen, Jozef M.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Education, 1979
The relationship of teachers' allocation of time to individual student achievement was studied. It was concluded that teachers prefer to increase students' average achievement rather than to decrease the variance in achievement within the classroom. (MH)

Spottheim, David; And Others – 1984
This is a summary of a report which presents three models quantifying the relationships between educational means (resources) and ends (pupil achievements) to analyze resource allocation problems within school districts: (1) the Pupil Performance Model; (2) the Goal Programming Model; and (3) the Operational Structure of a School and Pupil…

Adaptive Computer-Assisted Tutorials: A Cybernetic Approach Optimization with Finite-State Machines.
Offir, Joseph – 1976
This paper presents the concepts of a computer-directed system to improve human performance in structured learning situations. Attention is focused on finite-state systems in order to provide a systematic method for constructing training systems and to assist in analysis of problem solving and curriculum planning. The finite-state approach allows…
