Comparing Efficiency in a Cross-Country Perspective: The Case of Italian and Spanish State Universities
TL;DR: In this article, an efficiency analysis of Italian and Spanish universities is conducted; as well as from a comparative perspective, the efficiency scores are obtained using Data Envelopment Analysis, which demonstrate a good average efficiency in both countries relative to each "country-specific" frontier; but when compared together, Italian universities seem relatively more efficient.

Heterogeneity and the Evaluation of Efficiency: the Case of Italian Universities
Tommaso Agasisti,Geraint Johnes +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a random parameters stochastic frontier model is applied to Italian data in order to evaluate the cost function and efficiency of higher education institutions, which yields useful information about inter-institutional variation in cost structure and technical efficiency.
