A REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND A WAY FORWARD AbstractThis paper provides an extensive and comprehensive overview of the literature on efficiency in education. It summarizes the earlier applied inputs, outputs and contextual variables, as well as the used data sources of papers in the field of efficiency in education. Moreover, it reviews the papers on education that applied methodologies as Data Envelopment Analysis, Malmquist index, Bootstrapping, robust frontiers, metafrontier, or Stochastic Frontier Analysis. Based on the insights of the literature review, a second part of the paper provides some ways forward. It attempts to establish a link between the parametric 'economics of education' literature and the (semiparametric) 'efficiency in education literature'. We point to the similarities between matching and conditional efficiency; difference-in-differences and metafrontiers; and quantile regressions and partial frontiers. The paper concludes with some operative directions for prospective researchers in the field.

“…Examples include Chang et al (2004), who cite a working paper version of BN and use OLS to estimate a linear second-stage regression, despite the fact that DEA efficiency estimates are bounded at unity. Examples also include Chang et al (2008), Sufian and Habibullah (2009), Barkhi and Kao (2010), Cummins et al (2010), Davutyan et al (2010), Erhemjamts and Leverty (2010), and others.…”

“…Johnes [12] applied DEA to a data set of more than 100 High Educational Institutions (HEIs) in England using data for the year 2000/01.They came with a conclusion that the efficiency values calculated using DEAs at the aggregate level, including individual and institutional sub-components were misleading. Polat [13] found scale diseconomies and combined them with the basic aspects of the education system using DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) and econometric mechanisms. A significant relationship was found between centralization indicators and scale diseconomies.…”

The paper is aimed to analyse the efficacy of government expenditure on secondary education in Purulia district of West- Bengal, India. Efficacy relates the input or the output to the final objectives of the analysis to be achieved, i.e. the outcome. Education facility is mainly a mixed good which is partly excludable and partly rivalry. India has been suffering from poverty and illiteracy problem for decades. Illiteracy and low level of education is a factor for widespread poverty in India. Among the education system, secondary education plays a crucial role to enhance the human development level which ultimately contributes in development process. So, government should give emphasis on secondary education and it should be concerned about the efficacy of the government expenditure on secondary education. As in the present scenario, the structural adjustment policy (SAP) leads to some sort of cut back on expenditure on education. This study first calculates the technical efficiency as well as the scale efficiency of government expenditure on secondary education of school using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), then categorize the schools into low, moderate and high according to the value of technical efficiency and scale efficiency based on three models (i) considering all inputs (Teacher Student Ratio, Expenditure per Student, % of Students belong to SC, % of Students belong to ST, % of Students belong to OBC, % of Teacher with Professional Qualification, Student- Classroom Ratio, % of Girl’s Student Enrolment) (ii) considering prime two inputs (Student-Teacher Ratio and Expenditure per Student) and (iii) considering only one input (Expenditure per Student) and try to find out the reason of differences in efficiency. The common set of schools from High, Moderate and Low efficiency schools considering above said three models are further analysed with the primary data collected from the student sets to analyse whether the school efficiency affect the student’s individual performance or not with the help of regression analysis.
