Özet
Estimates of the efficiency of higher education institutions have become a central field of research in the literature of efficiency analysis, especially in the last two decades. In Turkey, the number of studies on the efficiency of higher education institutions have increased in this period. Almost all of the measurements of the efficiency of higher education institutions in Turkey have been made using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a non-parametric technique. Alternatively, the use of Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA), which is a parametric method of efficiency, has remained quite rare. This study examines the cost efficiency of 91 state and 25 foundation universities operating in Turkey for five years covering 2010-2011 and 2014-2015 by using the SFA method. The analysis has been performed through cost function of a Cobb-Douglass form. The SFA estimation rusults show that the performance of higher education institutions is quite scattered between 50% and 90%.
