The gap in education efficiency among Czech economics faculties

Original language description

We compare the efficiency of education among 17 economics faculties of public universities in the Czech Republic between 2012 and 2021. We apply data envelopment analysis methods and the Malmquist index to identify inefficient faculties. The optimal ratio of teachers to students was revealed to be almost double that of the least efficient faculties, paying twice as many academics to teach the same number of students. Further, we examine whether hiring more academic workers leads to a higher student success rate, but this is not the case. We identify if the inefficiency is caused by the lack of non-academic employees, which is a cause in some faculties. We analyse that facilities mostly fail to adjust to crisis and demographic situations. Our results provide a base for deeper analysis and possible corrections in managing faculties that are lacking. They also identify the faculties that are role models in the education organisation.
