摘要

多年来，技术进步和数字化转型给意大利教育部门带来了重大变化。考虑到大学在推动创新和发现方面的关键作用，大学绩效评估，特别是效率方面的评估一直存在广泛的争议。本研究旨在比较非参数方法和参数方法来评估意大利大学的效率，重点是研究、合作和创新。具体而言，采用三种不同的投入产出组合，采用数据包络分析和随机前沿分析对2021年意大利62所公立大学的效率进行了评估。研究结果具有理论和实践价值。通过确定最佳实践并对绩效改进领域提供有针对性的见解，本研究有助于意大利大学的持续发展及其在研究、合作和创新方面的全球竞争力。

Efficiency in research, collaboration, and innovation: Parametric and nonparametric approaches in Italian universities

Over the years, technological advancements and digital transformation have brought significant changes to the Italian education sector. University performance measurement, particularly in terms of efficiency, has been widely debated, given universities’ critical role in driving innovation and discovery. This study aims to compare nonparametric and parametric approaches to estimate the efficiency of Italian universities, with a focus on research, collaboration, and innovation. Specifically, data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier analysis were applied using three different input-output combinations to evaluate the efficiency of 62 Italian public universities in 2021. The findings are valuable from both theoretical and practical perspectives. By identifying best practices and offering targeted insights into areas for performance improvement, this study contributes to the ongoing development of Italian universities and their global competitiveness in research, cooperation, and innovation.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Innovation and Knowledge (JIK) explores how innovation drives knowledge creation and vice versa, emphasizing that not all innovation leads to knowledge, but enduring innovation across diverse fields fosters theory and knowledge. JIK invites papers on innovations enhancing or generating knowledge, covering innovation processes, structures, outcomes, and behaviors at various levels. Articles in JIK examine knowledge-related changes promoting innovation for societal best practices. JIK serves as a platform for high-quality studies undergoing double-blind peer review, ensuring global dissemination to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers who recognize innovation and knowledge as economic drivers. It publishes theoretical articles, empirical studies, case studies, reviews, and other content, addressing current trends and emerging topics in innovation and knowledge. The journal welcomes suggestions for special issues and encourages articles to showcase contextual differences and lessons for a broad audience. In essence, JIK is an interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing theoretical and practical innovations and knowledge across multiple fields, including Economics, Business and Management, Engineering, Science, and Education.
