This research examines scholastic performance within the context of an individual’s production function. A constant partial elasticity of substitution production function for academic achievement is presented and estimated with non linear maximum likelihood methods. We find that ability and time devoted to various aspects of the learning process are the most important determinants of students’ accomplishments. Our results underscore the potential for students to compensate for relatively “poor” educational backgrounds by spending more time on study and class attendance.

his paper analyses the educational production function (EPF), which is one of the main economic instruments for the analysis of university activities. This instrument describes the relationship between university performance and amount of available resources and forms the basis for calculating efficiency scores. In this paper we present the results of Russian universities’ efficiency analysis, as well as the results of cluster analysis based on university efficiency and performance scores. The results of our analysis suggest that efficiency is a key characteristic of a university’s activity and should be considered as an important indicator for elaborating public policies in higher education together with making decisions when distributing resources among educational organizations.
