ย Abstract:
This research aims to evaluate the technical efficiency of higher education in EU member states in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Measuring the coefficient of technical efficiency provides more information on the extent to which inputs are used to proยญduce outputs. Data Envelopment Analysis is used to determine the coefficients of technical effiยญciency. We use three inputs and three outputs in the evaluation of technical efficiency. The inputs used in this research are the total number of students, the number of academic staff and public expenditure on higher education, while the outputs are the number of graduates, employment rates of recent graduates and the overall score of the EU member state in the Sustainable Develยญopment Goals. Assessing technical efficiency ratios will help us determine which state uses its reยญsources most efficiently in the higher education sector. It will also highlight less efficient counยญtries and point out ways to improve their efficiency.
