Abstract

This examine the efficiency frontier of federal public higher education through a non-parametric method called Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). A dynamic frontier was estimated and the Malmquist index was evaluated to verify the productivity change between two peridos. In the model, we used several educational administrative indicators as inputs and outputs of the productive process, provided by the institutions themselves for the years from 2004 to 2008. The total number of Ifes (49) was divided into two subsets (groups A and B), according with their similarity of teaching, researching and extension activities, in order to minimize heterogeneity in the sector. The results of the dynamic models indicated a high level of efficiency scores but the Malmquist index showed a productivity decrease to most universities, indicating a possible deterioration of the educational product over time.
