How to measure research efficiency in higher education? : research grants vs. publication output

Gralka, Sabine; Wohlrabe, Klaus; Bornmann, Lutz - 2018

An ongoing debate in the literature on efficiency of higher education institutions concerns the indicator for research output in the empirical analysis. While several studies chose to use the number of publications, others rely on the overall amount of research grants. The present study...

Efficiency of university education : a partial frontier analysis

Viana, Rafael Antonio; Arranz, José M.; … - In: Latin American economic review : LAER ; official … 29 (2020), pp. 1-16

This article investigates the efficiency of the university education using two linked databases (Saber Pro and Saber 11) from the Colombian Institute for Evaluation of Education (ICFES) corresponding to 2014. We use a non-parametric frontier approach that combines the "order m" technique with...

The three i's of public schools : irrelevant inputs, insufficient resources and inefficiency

Henderson, Daniel J.; Simar, Léopold; Wang, Le - 2016

We examine the educational production function and efficiency of public school districts in Illinois. Using nonparametric kernel methods, we find that most traditional schooling inputs are irrelevant in determining test scores (even in a very general setting). Property tax caps are the only...

Sensitivity of University Rankings : Implications of Stochastic Dominance Efficiency Analysis

Pinar, Mehmet; Milla, Joniada; Stengos, Thanasēs - 2018

To create their rankings, university-ranking agencies usually combine multiple performance measures into a composite index. However, both rankings and index scores are sensitive to the weights assigned to performance measures. This paper uses a stochastic dominance efficiency methodology to...
