Saavedra-Caballero, Fabiola; Van Bellegem, Sébastien – Higher Education Quarterly, 2022
One method for evaluating higher education performance is to conceptualize it as a production function represented as an input/output process. This paper proposes a performance evaluation of higher education institutions from the perspective of recent graduates taking as inputs students' cognitive abilities and tuition, and as outputs three we…

Moore, Kenneth; Coates, Hamish; Croucher, Gwilym – Studies in Higher Education, 2019
The paper contributes to the growing and often controversial study of higher education productivity measurement. The paper clarifies core productivity ideas, and considers alternative models for productivity assessment. Results from these models are explored using data from Australian higher education. Findings reveal implications for the…

Mikušová, Pavla – Journal on Efficiency and Responsibility in Education and Science, 2017
The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports (MEYS) financially supports the Czech higher education institutions (HEIs). The largest amount of the MEYS's budget intended for HEIs subsidizes the public HEIs. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to measure the efficiency of the public higher education institutions. This will help us to determine which…

Chuanyi, Wang; Xiaohong, Lv; Shikui, Zhao – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
This paper applies data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) to explore the relative efficiency of China's research universities of science and technology. According to the finding, when talent training is the only output, the efficiency of research universities of science and technology is far lower than that of…

Agasisti, Tommaso; Dal Bianco, Antonio; Landoni, Paolo; Sala, Alessandro; Salerno, Mario – Higher Education Quarterly, 2011
This paper investigates the efficiency of university departments in science, technology and medicine in an Italian Region (Lombardy). The aim of the paper is twofold: (i) to analyse the changes in productivity in recent years (from 2004 and 2007); and (ii) to detect factors that are potentially affecting efficiency. The research benefited from a…

Johnes, Geraint; Johnes, Jill – Economics of Education Review, 2009
A multiproduct cost function is estimated for English higher education institutions using a panel of data from recent years. The panel approach allows estimation by means of a random parameter stochastic frontier model which provides considerable new insights in that it allows the impact on costs of inter-institutional differences in the cost…

de Guzman, Maria Corazon Gwendolyn N.; Cabana, Emilyn – American Journal of Business Education, 2009
This paper measures the technical efficiency of 16 selected colleges and universities in Metro Manila, Philippines, using academic data for the SY 2001-2005. Using the data envelopment analysis (DEA), on average, schools posted 0.807 index score and need additional 19.3% efficiency growth to be efficient. Overall, there are top four efficient…

Marris, Robin – Studies in Higher Education, 1986
In Britain, higher education is inappropriate for simplistic 'marketisation' but it is appropriate for more internal competition. Graduation data is used as an output measure for higher education. When output measures are set against input measures, Britain compares well with other nations in higher education. (Author/MLW)

Truett, Lila J.; Truett, Dale B. – Journal of Economic Education, 1990
Argues that the return-to-scale concept is important in explaining to more advanced students how production structures underlie costs. Reviews Christopher Ross Bell's graphical analysis, contending that its argument suggests a variable-returns-to-scale function rather than one exhibiting decreasing returns to scale. Explores classic views and the…

Schenker-Wicki, Andrea; Hurlimann, Mark – Higher Education Management and Policy, 2006
In the past decade, based on a change in paradigms in university policy, performance funding on a cantonal and central state level has been introduced in Switzerland: the universities have been granted higher autonomy, combined with global budgets and contract management by the responsible authorities (cantonal authorities). At the same time, the…
