“…The first output is the number of graduates weighted by their degree classification ( GRAD MARKS ), to capture both the quantity and the quality of teaching (see Agasisti & Perez Esparrells, ; Duh, Chen, Lin, & Kuo, ; Kuah & Wong, ; Thanassoulis, Kortelainen, Johnes, & Johnes, ). The task of a university is to produce graduates by using and combining different resources.…”

“…The second output is a measure of the research performance of universities (PUB). Various proxies have been used in the literature to measure academic performance, including the number of citations (Agasisti, Catalano, Landoni, & Verganti, 2012;Bonaccorsi, Daraio, & Simar, 2006), the number of publications (Duh et al, 2014;Lee, 2011;Wolszczak-Derlacz & Parteka, 2011), and amount of research grants (Johnes, Johnes, & Thanassoulis, 2008;Thanassoulis et al, 2011). We use the number of publications on the Web of Science as a proxy for the overall quality of research, which in turn can have an effect on regional propensity to innovation.…”

We test whether there is a link between the performance of universities, measured through a concept of efficiency, and the economic development of the regions in which they operate. Indicators of teaching, research, and third mission are considered as outputs. To handle endogeneity problems between the efficiency of universities and economic development, a system generalized method of moments and then an instrumental variable approach are used. Our findings reveal that the presence of efficient universities fosters local economic development. Knowledge spillovers occur to areas that are in close geographical proximity to efficient universities. Results are robust to different estimation strategies.

A REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND A WAY FORWARD AbstractThis paper provides an extensive and comprehensive overview of the literature on efficiency in education. It summarizes the earlier applied inputs, outputs and contextual variables, as well as the used data sources of papers in the field of efficiency in education. Moreover, it reviews the papers on education that applied methodologies as Data Envelopment Analysis, Malmquist index, Bootstrapping, robust frontiers, metafrontier, or Stochastic Frontier Analysis. Based on the insights of the literature review, a second part of the paper provides some ways forward. It attempts to establish a link between the parametric 'economics of education' literature and the (semiparametric) 'efficiency in education literature'. We point to the similarities between matching and conditional efficiency; difference-in-differences and metafrontiers; and quantile regressions and partial frontiers. The paper concludes with some operative directions for prospective researchers in the field.

In Vietnam, the government's objective is to get at least one university into the world's top 200 universities; thus, universities should focus on improving their performance by providing good learning facilities for students and having high‐qualified academic staff for teaching and research activities.…”

Universities in Vietnam are inclined to have an inefficient mix of input resources because of rigidities restricting the adoption of advanced teaching technology. There has been a deferral of the adoption of new teaching technologies to meet the rest of the world's higher education standards. Using an input‐orientated data envelopment analysis (DEA) method, technical, scale and mix efficiency indicators are estimated for 112 Vietnamese universities over the period 2011–2013 using the Färe–Primont index. The results indicate that the technical, scale and mix efficiency indicators are 0.784, 0.866 and 0.829, respectively. Using the fractional regression model, it is found that location, age, ownership and financial capacity have significant influences on the mix efficiency indicators of universities.
