This study investigates the income-cost effects resulting from public and private higher education expenditures in Japan. Economic returns are presented according to sex, public or private sector, and areas of study, and the method of government expenditure on education in Japan is evaluated. (TE)

The proposed methodology was designed to implement the Board of Governor's January 9, 1973, motion regarding the translation of the university's 1973-74 operating budgeting into a program budget showing the resources required by the various university programs and outputs. The methodology defines the main functions of the university in terms of…

Analyzes resource allocations in institutions of higher education to undergraduate costs, graduate costs, and faculty research and teaching time in order to determine educational "productivity." Although real undergraduate costs were found to be much lower than previously assumed, cost-based subsidies and the redistributive effects of higher…

Some aspects of a study designed to illustrate relations between the size of units and their teaching, research and service outputs, or the structure of their resources are presented. Resources and outputs were measured by total expenditure, hours of teaching, publications, citations, etc. Size was defined by expenditure on staff. (Author/MLW)

This document (1) describes current PPBS techniques and their limitations for planning and budgeting in public higher education; (2) presents suggestions for PPBS applications in higher education systems, with emphases on the problems of identifying objectives, evaluating effectiveness, and structuring the program budget; and (3) analyzes the…

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…

Data from studies of productivity and funding at colleges and universities show that teacher education is seriously underfinanced, in part because of the ways that university administrators allocate money provided under state funding formulas among their departments. Options for a more equitable distribution of funds are suggested. (PP)

This article contends that a new concept of education finance has emerged in response to substantial alterations in the U.S. education policy environment. The major distinction between modern and old is that the latter was principally concerned with arrangements of inputs in K-12 schooling. The former, modern-era education finance, is concerned…

This paper presents a complex, hybrid, method of cost analysis of online courses, which incorporates data on expenditures; student/course enrollment; departmental consumption/contribution; space utilization/opportunity costs; direct non-personnel costs; computing support; faculty/staff workload; administrative overhead at the department, dean, and…

Budgetary control procedures for not-for-profit institutions are presented in this compilation of budgetary materials and ideas gathered at the Program for Institutional Administrators at the University of Notre Dame. Budgetary reporting and control are suggested as the most effective tools for coordinating and controlling the acquisition and use…

This book provides conceptual and practical strategies for the data and information collection and analysis needs of a diverse group of institutions, ranging from small rural community colleges to large urban research institutions. The model framework is designed for use by any size or type of institution and gives a broad overview of various…
