چکیده
A multiproduct cost function is estimated for English higher education institutions using a panel of data from recent years. The panel approach allows estimation by means of a random parameter stochastic frontier model which provides considerable new insights in that it allows the impact on costs of inter-institutional differences in the cost function itself to bedistinguished from inter-institutional differences in efficiency. The approachusedhere therefore resembles in some respects the non-parametricmethods of efficiency evaluation. We report also onmeasures of average incremental cost of provision and on returns to scale and scope. 20

متن کاملRevenue Efficiency in Higher Education Institutions under Imperfect Competition
A number of studies have considered the evaluation of efficiency in higher education institutions. In this paper we focus on the issue of revenue efficiency, in particular ascertaining the extent to which, given output prices, producers choose the revenue maximising vector of outputs. Following Johnson and Ruggiero (2011), we then relax the price taking assumption to consider the case in which ...
