Abstract

The aim of this article is an attempt to measure the efficiency of academic advancement in a regional conceptualization (division according to voivodships) in Polish higher education. In making this attempt a non-parametric DEA method has been used introducing three models: doctoral, doctoral-supplemental, and post-doctoral. Knowledge concerning academic advancement efficiency is significant in developing the economy of particular regions. On the other hand, the results may lead to knowledge, models and tools transfer from regions with higher levels of efficiency to those with low levels of efficiency (convergence efficiency).

Keywords:

higher education, academic advancement, efficiency evaluation, non-parametric DEA method
