MARQUES, Felipe César; CAMARA, Marcia Regina Gabardo Da  and  CARVALHO, Sergio Carlos De. Efficiency of public and private higher education institutions in business administration. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.75, pp.910-936.  Epub May 08, 2020. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v30i75.5990.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of public and private Higher Education Institutions (HEI) regarding their potential to add academic knowledge to business students in 2012 and 2015. The study was divided in two stages: in the first one, the multiple regression technique was applied to control students’ personal factors. In the second, Data Envelopment Analysis decomposition was used in two components: one is related to the student’s performance and the other to HEIs efficiency. The results show higher performance of public HEIs, from both the students and institutions point of view. Nevertheless, private HEIs show potentiality to reduce the discrepancy. There was also productivity increase between the years evaluated for both public and private institutions.

Keywords : EDUCATION EVALUATION; HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS; PRIVATE EDUCATION; PUBLIC EDUCATION.
