Abstract

For the driven that the DEA conducted a series of researches on the efficiency of higher education insituitions (HEIs), yet the outcome of them is still incapable of guiding the higher education clearly to improve their efficiency and performance. For the purpose of capturing the performance and efficiency of higher education of Taiwan, which is regarded not only as a key information to inspect the efficiency of higher education, but also can be taken to direct the higher education reform, we first calculate the performances and productivity index by utilizing the DEA model. Further we shed new light on the intrigue relationship between total factor productivity and the technical efficiency by using a novel quantile-on-quantile regression approach so as to provide more information to discuss whether the technical efficiency has different impact on total factor productivity under different quantiles.
