Comparing efficiency in a cross-country perspective: the case of Italian and Spanish state universities (2010, background): “While there are many studies on efficiency analysis of HE institutions in a single country (e.g. Abbott & Doucouliagos, 2003 and Carrington, et al., 2005 – Australia; Athanassopoulos & Shale, 1997, and J.Johnes, 2006 – UK; Agasisti & Dal Bianco, 2006 – Italy; Warning, 2004 – Germany; McMillan &…”
Efficiency, technology and productivity change in Australian universities, 1998–2003 (2008, methodology): “(1997), Abbott and Doucouliagos (2003a; 2003b), Carrington et al. (2005)] it is the only one to focus exclusively on productivity, efficiency and technological change at a university-level using readily available panel data dated within the last five years.”
Assessing the effects of managerial and production practices on the efficiency of commercial pig farming (2006, neutral): “…efficient DMU (under VRS, or Ôpure technically efficientÕ) may still be over-or under-producing if it is feasible for this farm to alter its size towards the optimal size, i.e., in the region where there are CRS in the relationship between outputs and inputs (Abbott and Doucouliagos, 2003).”
Competition and efficiency: overseas students and technical efficiency in Australian and New Zealand universities (2009, positive): “For details on the use of this series and the weights used to construct an aggregate research output series, see Abbott and Doucouliagos (2004). We chose not to include students as an input. One approach is to include the number of enrolments as an input and the number of graduates as an output. For”
Efficiency in education: a review of literature and a way forward (2017, neutral): “…Ying and Sung (2000), Avkiran (2001), Korhonen et al (2001), Portela and Thanassoulis (2001), Fukuyama and Weber (2002), Moreno and Tadepali (2002), Abbott and Doucouliagos (2003), Banker et al (2004), Emrouznejad and Thanassoulis (2005), Joumady and Ris (2005), Kiong et al (2005), Agasisti and…”
Efficiency and Productivity Change in the English Higher Education Sector from 1996/97 to 2004/5 (2008, background): “As in previous studies (Abbott and Doucouliagos, 2003; Flegg et al., 2004; Flegg and Allen, 2007; Worthington and Lee, 2007), no attempt is made to take into account inter-institution differences in quality of inputs (quality may vary substantially by institution in the context of the raw material a”
Cross-Country Efficiency Comparison between Italian and Spanish Public Universities in the period 2000-2005 (2008, background): “While there are many studies on efficiency analysis of HE institutions in a single country (e.g. Abbott & Doucouliagos, 2003 and Carrington, et al., 2005 – Australia; Athanassopoulos & Shale, 1997, and J.Johnes, 2006 – UK; Agasisti & Dal Bianco, 2006 – Italy; Warning, 2004 – 3 Germany; McMillan &…”
Application of DEA method in efficiency evaluation of public higher education institutions (2014, methodology): “In the research by Abbott and Doucouliagos (2003), non-parametric techniques were used to estimate technical and scale efficiency of individual Australian universities.”
The efficiency of German universities–some evidence from nonparametric and parametric methods (2010, neutral): “Athanassapoulos and Shale (1997) analysed the relative efficiency of 45 British universities for the years 1992/93, indicating that there are significant differences across higher education institutions.”
