قياس الكفاءة الإنتاجية للجامعات اليمنية باستخدام التحليل التطويقي للبيانات (dea)
This book represents a doctoral dissertation aiming to demonstrate and clarify the methods and approaches for measuring the internal (scale and technical) productive efficiency of Yemeni public universities using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, ranking these universities according to their achieved internal productive efficiency, identifying the input reductions possible for inefficient universities, and determining the reference universities for each inefficient university. The book consists of four chapters: Chapter One presents the general framework and previous studies with discussion; Chapter Two covers the theoretical framework in two sections-the first discusses measuring and enhancing university productive efficiency, while the second outlines key modern quantitative methods for measuring university productive efficiency. Chapter three presents the current status of Yemeni public universities from a quantitative perspective. Chapter four, details the applied procedures and presents and discusses the results, divided into two sections: the first outlines the procedures used to measure internal (scale and technical) productive efficiency using DEA, and the second presents and discusses the findings. Among the key results: three universities achieved internal scale efficiency (Sana'a, 'Umran, and Hajjah) out of ten universities studied. Furthermore, four Yemeni public universities achieved internal technical efficiency from both input and output perspectives (Aden, Dhamar, Hadhramout, and Al-Bayda), representing 40% of the total universities in the study.
