摘要
With participation in higher education amongst young people rising, governments around the world have been faced with increasing pressure on their finances, giving rise to the need to operate universities with a higher degree of efficiency. In this paper, non-parametric techniques are used to estimate technical and scale efficiency of individual Australian universities. Various measures of output and inputs are used. The results show that regardless of the output-input mix, Australian universities as a whole recorded high levels of efficiency relative to each other. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
