Abstract

This study deals with the statistical analysis for checking significance of environmental factors impacting on the education efficiency of the 80 universities in China. As a result of some previous studies and statistical consideration, we adopted a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model to perform the relevant analysis and assumed that there exist 4 major environmental factors including government’s support policies, density of university, economic development of the city, and city rating level. The results of statistical analysis reveal that both factors of the total number of universities in city and the city’s class show the highly significant impacts on education efficiency of the China’s universities, and also the factor of economic development of the city proves its proper statistical significance. However, the factor of government’s support policies turns out little impact on education efficiency statistically. Judging from these results of case analysis, the Chinese government is recommended to redress its policies of financial support to universities. The detailed study results will be provided in the main paper.
