The transient and persistent efficiency of Italian and German universities : a stochastic frontier analysis
Agasisti, Tommaso; Gralka, Sabine - 2017
Despite measures on the European level to increase the compatibility between the HE sectors of the member states, the recent literature exposes variations in their efficiencies. To gain insights into these differences we split the efficiency term according to the two management levels each...

Cost Structure, Efficiency and Heterogeneity in US Higher Education : An Empirical Analysis
Agasisti, Tommaso - 2012
We estimate a variety of models to evaluate costs in US higher education institutions. A novel feature of our approach involves the estimation of latent class and random parameter stochastic frontier models of the multiproduct cost function. This allows us fully to accommodate both the...

Performances and Spending Efficiency in Higher Education : A European Comparison
Agasisti, Tommaso - 2009
The objective of this paper is an efficiency analysis about Higher Education (HE) systems in European countries. We employ data extracted from the OECD datasets (Education at a Glance, several years), both (1) computing an "overall" Performance Indicator and (2) using a non-parametric technique...

Comparing Efficiency in a Cross-Country Perspective : The Case of Italian and Spanish State Universities
Agasisti, Tommaso; Pérez-Esparrells, Carmen - 2010
The growing internationalization of European Higher Education requires more emphasis on cross-country comparisons. In this paper, an efficiency analysis of Italian and Spanish universities is conducted; as well as from a comparative perspective. The efficiency scores are obtained using Data...

Standard Costs for Italian Primary Schools : A Simulation Through a Cost Function Approach
Agasisti, Tommaso - 2014
In Italy, the process of devolving more powers on educational matters to Regions and schools poses some relevant policy challenges, among which the necessity to determine “standard” costs for schools stands as a major priority. In this paper, we propose an approach based on cost functions...
