Efficiency measures in education: a comparison of parametric and nonparametric methods with application to the Province of Buenos Aires
This work has two main objectives: the first one is to measure the technical efficiency of the student and the school for the particular case of the province of Buenos Aires, through the use of parametric distance functions and data envelopment analysis. The second is to compare the results obtained...

I10-R359-article-203522018-06-18T15:15:55Z Efficiency measures in education: a comparison of parametric and nonparametric methods with application to the Province of Buenos Aires Medidas de eficiencia en educación: una comparación de métodos paramétricos y no paramétricos con aplicación a la Provincia de Buenos Aires Mongan, Juan Carlos Santin, Daniel Valiño, Aurelia eficiencia técnica frontera estocástica DEA educación technical efficiency stochastic frontier DEA education This work has two main objectives: the first one is to measure the technical efficiency of the student and the school for the particular case of the province of Buenos Aires, through the use of parametric distance functions and data envelopment analysis. The second is to compare the results obtained by the two methodologies considered and analyze the consistency between them. For that we use data of 118,454 students between 10 and 12 years old from the National Assessment of Educational Quality for the year 2000. The results show a higher relative efficiency of students who goes to privately managed schools. Also, both methodologies leads to very similar results, making it possible to say that, for this case, the efficiency measures obtained are consistent with each other, especially in regard to identifying the most inefficient production units. El presente trabajo tiene dos objetivos principales: por un lado se pretende cuantificar la eficiencia técnica a nivel del alumno y de la escuela para el caso particular de la provincia de Buenos Aires, mediante la utilización de funciones distancia paramétricas y análisis envolvente de datos. El segundo objetivo es el de comparar los resultados obtenidos mediante las dos metodologías consideradas y analizar la consistencia entre los mismos. Se utilizan datos censales de 118.454 alumnos de entre 10 y 12 años provenientes del Operativo Nacional de Evaluación de la Calidad Educativa de la República Argentina, llevado a cabo por el Ministerio de Educación de dicho país en el año 2000. Los resultados muestran una mayor eficiencia relativa de los alumnos que asisten a escuelas de gestión privada. Asimismo, mediante las dos metodologías se llega a resultados muy similares, lo cual hace posible afirmar que, para el caso analizado, las medidas de eficiencia obtenidas son consistentes entre sí, sobre todo en lo que respecta a la identificación de las unidades productivas más ineficientes.
