| Research Abstract |
This study aims to investigate cost structure of Japanese universities by measuring technical efficiency and the degree of scale and scope economies. Using data on 218 private universities in Japan (1999 and 2004), we find that: 1) potentially reducible costs range from 13% to 49%; 2) scale economies exist for almost all universities; and 3) scope diseconomies exist except some very large universities.
