The paper estimates the teaching efficiencies of Indian Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) according to their location, ownership, courses they specialise in and age, using recent data published by National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF). We find...

The paper uses data from a large representative survey of Hungarian higher education graduates (DPR 2010) to study the early labour market effects of field of study and college quality. Propensity score matching average treatment effect method is used to reveal the effect of the field of study,...

This article is continuation of the authors’ research on financial efficiency evaluation in higher education in the area of didactics in countries that belong to European Union. On the basis of the results of researches, in which a non-parametric approach was used, a classification of member...

The aim of this article was to estimate the total efficiency of teaching activity carried out in Polish higher education institutions in 2015. The study used the EBM model belonging to the nonparametric DEA method. The output of the education process was measured by the number of graduates of...

This paper studies the efficiency of tertiary education expenditure in the EU Member States from Central and Eastern Europe in comparative terms. For this purpose, the method of Data Envelopment Analysis that can be classified as non-parametric is used. The efficiency is investigated via three...

This study uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine the relative efficiency in the production of research of 109 Chinese regular universities in 2003 and 2004. Output variables measure the impact and productivity of research; input variables reflect staff, students, capital and resources....

This paper reviews the most recent empirical literature that assesses efficiency in higher education. We analyze 76 studies ranging from 1997 to 2018 and classify them according to the methodologies applied and to the definitions used to describe the outputs, inputs, quality and the context...

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...

Evaluations of the Higher Education Sector are receiving increased attention, due to the rising expenditures and the absence of efficiency enhancing market pressure. To what extent universities are able to eliminate inefficiency is a question that has only partially been answered. This paper...

We exploit the variation in the admissions cutoffs across colleges of a leading Indian university in a regression discontinuity framework to estimate the causal effects of enrolling in a selective college on: cognitive attainment, behavioral preferences, and Big Five personality. We find that...
