摘要

本文调查了欧洲大学在实现可持续发展目标方面的效率。我们使用了新发布的大学影响力排名,该排名反映了可持续发展目标,其中获得高分的机构除了科学研究外,还在性别不平等、全民优质教育、气候变化、实现和平社会和经济增长等领域付出了更多努力。在我们的实证分析中,我们采用了双重方法。在国家层面,我们调查了高等教育公共支出的效率,而在大学层面,我们分析了实现更高排名(就可持续发展目标而言)所使用的资源的效率。数据包络分析(DEA)结果表明,在宏观层面上,我们的样本中只有三到四个国家是完全有效的。因此,在不改变政府高等教育支出的情况下,它们在大学影响力排名上的得分可以提高20%左右。在微观层面上,只有大约16%的大学是有效率的。在不增加投入的情况下,特别是在通过与其他国家合作、推广最佳做法和与外国作者合作发表数据来支持可持续发展目标方面,它们的绩效可以大大提高。

The Efficiency of Universities in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals
This paper investigates the efficiency of European universities in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We make use of newly published University Impact Rankings that account for SDGs, whereby institutions that achieved high scores are those that are, in addition to scientific research, putting more efforts in areas such as gender inequality, quality education for all, climate change, achieving peaceful societies and economic growth. In our empirical analysis, we adopt a dual approach. At a country level, we investigate efficiency of public expenditure on tertiary education, while at a university level we analyse the efficiency of the resources employed in achieving higher rankings (in terms of SDGs). Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) results indicate that, at a macro level, only three to four countries in our sample are fully efficient. They could, therefore, without changing government tertiary expenditures on education, produce about 20% better score on University impact rankings. At a micro level, only about 16 percent of universities is efficient. Their performance could be much improved, without increasing the inputs, especially in terms of supporting SDGs through cooperation with other countries, the promotion of best practices and the publication of data in cooperation with foreign authors.
