The hybrid returns-to-scale model and its extension by production trade-offs: an application to the efficiency assessment of public universities in Malaysia

Abstract: returns-to-scale (CRS or VRS) models. In this paper we suggest that these models may sometimes underutilize our knowledge of the underlying production process. For example, in the context of higher education considered in the reported application, individual universities often maintain a certain student-to-staff ratio which points that there should be an approximately proportional relationship between students and staff, at least in the medium to long run. A different example is an observation that the teachin… Show more

“…In this section, we use an example to illustrate the proposed models and the way the suggested algorithm can be applied to identify sets with consistent trade-offs. Motivated by the case of "public universities in Malaysia" given first in Podinovski and Wan Husain (2015), details of our numerical example are designed as follows. Let us assume that there exist 20 hypothetical engineering schools as DMUs in the analysis.…”

“…Our data set is shown in university, if the number of academic staff is increased, all types of students can be increased, while the amount of research funding and research publications remain unchanged. Given the research funding unchanged, we also suppose that if the academic staff is decreased, not only the number of students but also the number of research publications decreases (for more details see Podinovski & Wan Husain, 2015).…”
