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...

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....

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...

In der Literatur zur Effizienz von Hochschulen werden entweder die eingeworbenen Drittmittel oder die Anzahl der Publikationen als Indikator für institutionelle Forschungsleistungen verwendet. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht, ob beide Indikatoren zu einer ähnlichen oder unterschiedlichen...

Die Effizienz der Hochschulen in den Flächenländern Ost und West liegt im Durchschnitt auf annähernd gleichem Niveau. Innerhalb der ostdeutschen Flächenländer sind auf Länderebene zwischen den Universitäten jedoch erhebliche Effizienzunterschiede festzustellen. Zu diesen Ergebnissen kommt...

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...
