| Research Abstract |
This study examines the scale and scope economies of higher education institutions in Japan, to exploring the decision factor of individual's education preference. The standard approach for testing the scale and scope economies is the application of the cost function. However, the cost function approach often encounters a difficulty in obtaining reliable data on input prices, especially the input prices of capital for higher education institutions. This study proposes a duality approach based on the input distance function. We apply the testing procedure to the data pertaining to 218 Japanese private universities in 1999 and 2004. The results indicate the scale economies, and the scope diseconomies in small-scale universities.
