The purpose of this paper is to examine the possibility of measuring efficiency in the context of higher education. The … paper begins by exploring the advantages and drawbacks of the various methods for measuring efficiency in the higher … education context. The ease with which data envelopment analysis (DEA) can handle multiple inputs and multiple outputs makes it …

We examine the educational production function and efficiency of public school districts in Illinois. Using … related) differs substantially from our efficiency scores, and standard parametric approaches drastically underestimate school … efficiency. We discuss the policy implications of our results …

This article investigates the efficiency of the university education using two linked databases (Saber Pro and Saber 11 … approach that combines the "order m" technique with the concept of a meta-frontier to disaggregate students' total efficiency … application of the technique of "order m" with the approach of the meta-frontier for the analysis of educational efficiency using …

. Nowadays, the most prominent representatives are nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) and parametric stochastic … with the two "oldies" DEA and SFA and extends the initial Monte Carlo simulation of Kuosmanen and Kortelainen (2010) in …

Since the introduction of bootstrap DEA there is a growing literature on applications which use this method, mainly for … hypothesis testing. It is therefore important to establish the consistency and evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA. The few … coverage probabilities are not a good tool of assessment. In our study we evaluate the performance of bootstrap DEA using the …

Bootstrap DEA is a significant development of the past decade …, which could be extended to test almost any hypothesis in bootstrap DEA. Moreover, it enhances the intuition behind bootstrap … DEA and highlights logical and theoretical pitfalls that should be avoided. …
