    Bursalioglu, SA; Selim, S
    Higher education institutions that shape today's information society are important actors in providing economic development and growth and competitive advantage to countries in the international arena, as well as in providing prestige and a high level of income to individuals. In this regard, besides the educational service quality, innovation capacity, R&D potential, cooperation with industry and the roles in the regional development of higher education institutions, it is also important to investigate their efficiency in academic and research activities and the factors that determine this efficiency. This study aims to analyze Turkey's and 17 of the EU member states' higher education efficiency and the effects of various factors on the efficiency scores. To these aims, Data Envelopment Analysis and Tobit regression model are employed respectively. According to the findings, an increase in the ratio of public expenditure in higher education to GDP, in the number of students per academic and in the number of academics negatively affect the efficiency scores. However, the increase in the employment rate of higher education graduates, in the ratio of higher education graduates to the total population and in the life satisfaction of the individuals with higher education positively affects the efficiency scores.

    Analysis of the Determinants of Universities Efficiency in Turkey: Application of the Data Envelopment Analysis and Panel Tobit Model
    Selim, S; Bursalioglu, SA
    This paper builds on a two- stage Data Envelopment Analysis to determine factors on the efficiency of universities M Turkey in 2006-2010. The first stage is concerned with data envelopment analysis to measure the efficiency of the universities. This is followed by factors that affect the efficiency of the universities. The results of the model demonstrate that, the effect of project allocations found to be insignificant. Additionally, number of students per academic has a positive effect on relative efficiency of universities in Turkey. It is seen the highest increase at doctorate level. Employment and number of publications, as expected, have positive effect on efficiency. Because the central government budget appropriations has a negative effect on efficiency, the higher education institutions in Turkey may lead to the search for alternative financing such as Triple Spiral model in co-operation with the private sector, R&D support, project support, counselling, within the framework of university-industry-government.
