摘要

在评估学校效率水平的实证研究中,低效率持续性经常被忽视。利用来自新西兰62个地区的公立和公立私立学校的纵向数据,采用动态随机效应随机前沿模型来获得低效率持续的程度以及成本效率估计的度量。结果表明,一个幼稚的非动态模型错误地显示了新西兰学校在短期内具有很高的成本效益。然而,动态模型暴露了一个事实,即新西兰公立学校面临着成本低效率的高持续性,这限制了他们提供长期成本高效教育的能力。此外,由于持续的成本低效率,估计每年有9%的公立学校资金流失。这项研究的结果表明,新西兰学校的成本低效率似乎是长期的,需要国家政府做出重大的政策改变。

Persistence of Cost Inefficiency Among Schools: A Myth or Reality?

Inefficiency persistence is often ignored in empirical studies that assess school efficiency levels. Using longitudinal data on state and state-dependent private schools from 62 New Zealand territories, a dynamic random-effect stochastic frontier model is employed to obtain the magnitude of inefficiency persistence along with the measure of cost efficiency estimates. The results show that a naive non-dynamic model incorrectly shows New Zealand schools to be highly cost-efficient in short run. However, the dynamic model exposes the fact that New Zealand state schools face high persistence in cost inefficiency, which is limiting their ability to provide cost-efficient schooling in long run. Furthermore, an estimated 9% of the annual state school funding is lost due to the persistence in cost inefficiency. The findings of this study indicate that cost inefficiency among New Zealand schools appears to be long run, requiring significant policy change from the national government.

期刊介绍: Economic Papers is one of two journals published by the Economics Society of Australia. The journal features a balance of high quality research in applied economics and economic policy analysis which distinguishes it from other Australian journals. The intended audience is the broad range of economists working in business, government and academic communities within Australia and internationally who are interested in economic issues related to Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. Contributions are sought from economists working in these areas and should be written to be accessible to a wide section of our readership. All contributions are refereed.
