Abstract
We estimate the relative efficiency of economics departments around the world. Taking as
output the students’ placement in the Top 20 PhD programs in Economics in the United
States, we estimate efficiency frontiers through non-parametric techniques (Data
Envelopment Analysis, DEA) and parametric techniques (stochastic frontiers, SFA). As
inputs, we include department size, journal article downloads, and number of citations.
Results show that efficiency scores, rankings, and identifying the best and worst departments
in terms of efficiency are significantly different between techniques.
