Efficiency and productivity of Greek higher technological educational institutions: an assessment over the period 2005-2009

Effects of Educational Efficiency on National Competitiveness Based on Cross-National Data

“…Aristovnik and Obadić (2014) used DEA to investigate the educational efficiency provided in the secondary and tertiary education [32]. Tsamadias and Kyratzi (2014) measured changes in efficiency and productivity in the Greek public higher technological educational institutions from 2005 to 2009 by using input-oriented DEA to provide directories and indexes to management for improving the performance of their institutions [33].
