Efficiency Analysis of Universities in China Using DEA
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Economics, Business and Management - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 11
Abstract
The government spending in higher education in China has annually been increased and the scientific research level of university determines its ability of receiving resources/budgets. This paper applies Data Envelopment analysis (DEA) for evaluating the relative efficiency of top 20 universities in China. Nine factors inclusive 4 inputs and 5 outputs are selected to find the rank of universities in 2013. Kourosh and Arash Model (KAM) is applied while a very small negligible thickness of the efficient frontier is introduced. KAM represents that only one university can be efficient with 10-6degree of freedom (DF) and other DMUs are inefficient with 10-6-DF while three universities were completely inefficient. The suggested KAM rankings are compared with the measured rankings by China Statistical Press (CSP). A significant difference can be seen between the two sets of ranking which suggests CSP to resurvey its methodology to rank universities of China. Keywords: Data envelopment analysis, Kourosh and Arash model, Efficiency, University, China.
