Book Synopsis The Efficiency of Education Expenditure in Portugal by : Mr.Benedict J. Clements
Download or read book The Efficiency of Education Expenditure in Portugal written by Mr.Benedict J. Clements and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the efficiency of education expenditure in Portugal and delineates a possible agenda for reform. Portugal’s low educational performance has coincided with the highest level of primary and secondary education expenditure to GDP in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), suggesting considerable inefficiency. Empirical results from the application of a nonparametric technique for production frontier estimation (Free Disposable Hull analysis) support this view. Among the reforms that could be considered to raise educational efficiency are the adoption of a goal-oriented management and incentive system; establishment of minimum student/teacher ratios; and an easing of employment and work rules governing public school teachers.

Book Synopsis Public Tertiary Education Expenditure in Portugal by : António Afonso
Download or read book Public Tertiary Education Expenditure in Portugal written by António Afonso and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We employ a non-parametric methodology, Data Envelopment Analysis, to estimate efficiency scores for Portuguese public universities for 2001. Due to the tertiary education organisational features we consider universities as well as faculties and institutes as decision entities. Using frontier analysis we are able to separate universities/faculties/institutes that might qualify, as "performing well" from those were some improvement might increase its efficiency. This is a first effort of checking efficiency and productivity in Portuguese public tertiary education using non-parametric analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Selected Issues paper examines the education system and public investment in Portugal. Both areas are generally considered as critical for Portugal’s prospects for sustaining or accelerating the drive toward real income convergence. Moreover, both areas absorb a substantial share of public resources and thus have important implications for fiscal balances, which are, under European Monetary Union, constrained by the Stability and Growth Pact. The paper assesses the performance of the Portuguese education system and delineates a possible agenda for reform. It also attempts to shed light on the role of public investment in Portugal.

Book Synopsis Evaluating Efficiency in the Portuguese Health and Education Sectors by : Miguel St. Aubyn
Download or read book Evaluating Efficiency in the Portuguese Health and Education Sectors written by Miguel St. Aubyn and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public expenditure in Portugal has been growing in recent years and approached values close to the EU average. Social expenditure, namely with health and education, increased in relative terms. Also, recent growth in public employment resulted greatly from new hirings in these two sectors. Taxation is the dominant source of financing education and health costs. Evaluating efficiency in these sectors is of great importance for public policy - an inefficient situation will imply the possibility of a better performance without increasing allocated resources. Increased health expenditure has been accompanied by a better health status of the Portuguese. Nevertheless, efficiency frontier estimation results provide evidence in favour of inefficiency. A more detailed analysis points towards a structure where nurses and hospital beds are relatively scarce, resources are asymmetrically distributed in geographical terms, and expenditure in pharmaceuticals and ancillary diagnostic services is excessively high. Suggested policy implications include the promotion of cost effectiveness in the public provision of health, a better coordination and integration between hospitals and health centres, a review of personnel management and payments policy, and induced changes in the pharmaceutical market, in users behaviour and in formation policy. In what concerns education, enrollment rates have progressed along with expenditure growth, school expectancy in Portugal being close to EU average values. Even if average expenditure per student is lower than the EU average, results presented here point towards inefficiency in this sector. Graduation rates at the end of secondary education are too low and Portuguese student performance is disappointing at an international level. It is suggested that promoting efficiency in this sector should include a careful examination and reassessment of teaching standards in secondary schools, namely in key knowledge areas, a careful and open assessment of school performance, a review of personnel management and payments policy, a review of the breakdown of educational expenditures by resource category and the development of a life-long education program.

Book Synopsis A Hybrid Approach to Estimating the Efficiency of Public Spending on Education in Emerging and Developing Economies by : Francesco Grigoli
Download or read book A Hybrid Approach to Estimating the Efficiency of Public Spending on Education in Emerging and Developing Economies written by Francesco Grigoli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measurement of the efficiency of public education expenditure using parametric and non-parametric methods has proven challenging. This paper seeks to overcome the difficulties of earlier studies by using a hybrid approach to measure the efficiency of secondary education spending in emerging and developing economies. The approach accounts for the impact of the level of development on education outcomes by constructing different efficiency frontiers for lower- and higher-income economies. We find evidence of large potential gains in enrollment rates by improving efficiency. These are largest in lower-income economies, especially in Africa. Reallocating expenditure to reduce student-to-teacher ratios (where these are high) and improving the quality of institutions (as measured by the "governance effectiveness" indicator in the World bank's Governance Indicators database) could help improve the efficiency of education spending. Easing the access to education facilities and reducing income inequality (as measured by the Gini coefficient) could also help improve efficiency.
Book Synopsis Improving the Efficiency and Equity of Public Education Spending: The Case of Moldova by : Hui Jin
Download or read book Improving the Efficiency and Equity of Public Education Spending: The Case of Moldova written by Hui Jin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper, using Moldova as an example, presents a systematic approach to assess the efficiency and equity of public education spending, identify sources of inefficiencies and inequality, and formulate potential reform options. The analytical framework combines international benchmarking with country-specific analysis—such as microeconomic analysis based on household survey data—and can provide important insights into diagnosing and reforming education systems. The analysis finds significant scope to improve both efficiency and equity of the education sector in Moldova. Potential reform measures include further consolidating the oversized school network, reducing overstaffing, and better targeting government subsidies. The current remuneration policy could also be improved to attract high quality teachers and incentivize performance.

Book Synopsis The Efficiency of Government Expenditure by : Ms.Keiko Honjo
Download or read book The Efficiency of Government Expenditure written by Ms.Keiko Honjo and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1997-11-01 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the efficiency of government expenditure on education and health in 38 countries in Africa in 1984-95, both in relation to each other and compared with countries in Asia and the Western Hemisphere. The results show that, on average, countries in Africa are less efficient than countries in Asia and the Western Hemisphere; however, education and health spending in Africa became more efficient during that period. The assessment further suggests that improvements in educational attainment and health output in African countries require more than just higher budgetary allocations.

Book Synopsis Public Expenditure in the Slovak Republic by : Francesco Grigoli
Download or read book Public Expenditure in the Slovak Republic written by Francesco Grigoli and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good practice suggests that budget allocations should reflect spending priorities and that spending should provide cost-effective delivery of public goods and services. This paper analyzes the composition of public expenditure in the Slovak Republic. It also assesses the relative efficiency of spending in education and health. The Slovak Republic spends more on social benefits and less on wages compared to the EU and OECD average. While it manages to translate the low expenditures into outcomes in an efficient manner in the education sector, this is not true for health. Moreover, the recent increases in expenditure levels have not improved outcomes, suggesting that significant budgetary savings could be achieved through increases in efficiency.
Book Synopsis Efficiency of Social Sector Expenditure in India by : Brijesh Purohit
Download or read book Efficiency of Social Sector Expenditure in India written by Brijesh Purohit and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Government investments in social sector has always played an important role in tackling social issues and facilitated in the alleviation of poverty. Hence, budgetary expenditure to be mobilized for such investments needs to be efficiently allocated and utilized to maximize the greatest good. This book focuses on the social sector in India and provides an overview of the sector. The book looks at 15 major Indian states between the year 2000-2011 to see how these states had invested in social sector and whether they had met the criteria of efficient social sector investment. Using stochastic frontier models, the book provides an efficiency norm and making use of this normative estimate, it compares performance across 15 Indian states and suggests important policy implications to improve the future performance of the social sector. The book adopts various quantitative techniques in the analysis and establishes that inefficient and inappropriate allocation of inputs was made in both health and education sectors. The book suggests that such problems and future challenges could be overcome by an appropriate mix of emphasis in different activities. This book will provide insight for those who want to learn more about how to build the capacity of the social sector in more efficient manner by exploring the social sector of India.
