| Abstract: | This paper models the human capital formation in the Italian university and utilizes a measure of technical efficiency to
estimate the output-efficiency of human capital formation in the University of Florence, by using Data Envelopment Analysis
(DEA) on a selected set of inputs and outputs. It uses the Program Evaluation (PE) procedure as well, in an attempt to attribute
shares of the variation in efficiency to factors that are beyond the control and factors that are under the control of the
graduates and faculties.
The authors thank two anonymous referees for their valuable comments. |
