Dynamics of productivity in higher education: cross-european evidence based on bootstrapped Malmquist indices

Abstract

Abstract This study examines patterns of productivitychange in a large set of 266 public higher educationinstitutions (HEIs) in 7 European countries across the timeperiod 2001-2005. We adopt consistent bootstrap estimationprocedures to obtain confidence intervals for Malmquistindices of HEI productivity and their components.Consequently, we are able to assess the statistical significanceof changes in HEI productivity, efficiency andtechnology. Our results suggest that, assessed vis-a`-vis acommon 'European' frontier, HEI productivity rose onaverage by 4 % annually. Statistically significant changesin productivity were registered in 90 % of observations onthe institutions in our sample, but statistically significantannual improvements in overall productivity took place inonly 56 % of cases. There are considerable national differences,with German, Italian and Swiss HEIs performingbetter in terms of productivity change than HEIs from theother countries examined.
