This paper uses data envelopment analysis to examine the technical efficiency (TE) of 45 British universities in the period 1980/81 to 1992/93. This period was chosen primarily because it was characterized by major changes in public funding and in student : staff ratios. To shed light on the causes of variations in efficiency, TE is decomposed into pure technical efficiency (PTE), congestion ef...

  Performance evaluation of universities is an important issue between researchers. Classic data envelopment analysis (DEA) models with deterministic data have been used by many authors to measure efficiency of universities in different countries. However, DEA with stochastic data are, rarely used to measure efficiency of universities. In this paper, input oriented model in stochastic data env...

This paper investigates the determinants of efficiency and technological progress at US research universities. It relies on a unique panel data set of multiple outputs and inputs from 92 universities covering the period 1981-1998. Over that time span, US universities experienced large increases in industry funding and in academic patenting activity. In this context, the directional distance fun...

Along with the continuous economic and social development and the unceasing progress of science and technology, information technology has penetrated into every field of social life. Therefore, colleges and universities face with serious challenges in personnel management. This needs the continuous integration of information technology and the personnel management in colleges and universities t...

Our primary aim, in this paper, is to propose and investigate, for the first time, the application of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique in assessing Iranian public universities. We provide an analysis on the importance of the stakeholder’s perspective on the structure of DEA and the variations of efficiency results. For illustrations, we perform efficiency analysis on a sample of public...

This paper presents the results of an efficiency study of Colombian public universities in 2012, conducted using the methodology of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the models CCR, BCC and SBM under output orientation. The main objective is to determine technical, pure technical, scale and mix efficiencies using data acquired from the Ministry of National Education. An analysis of the result...

It is important to see efficiency of accounting education in order to fully understand the operational environment of companies. In this study, the 45 public universities in Turkey was investigated by using Data Envelopment Analysis [DEA]. In order, some definitions for the outputs and inputs are required for the model. The criteria developed by American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Busine...
