Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the research efficiency of Japanese universities in life, medical sciences fields and science, engineering, and agriculture fields. To evaluate the research efficiency, I use the data envelopment analysis (DEA). The number of teachers, students for Ph.D. degree, medical staff and other researchers, and research expenditures used for input variables, and the number of papers and citations used for output variables. In addition, I verify whether the female researcher’s ratio and the external research funding ratio influenced the research efficiency. As a result, these analyses show that the gap of research efficiency between universities on the efficient frontier and other universities becomes small in recent years. Furthermore, I reveal that the female researcher’s ratio and the external research funding ratio have a positive influence on the research efficiency in life and medical sciences fields.
