Análise da eficiência das IFES no uso de recursos financeiros : uma aplicação DEA em dois estágios

The Federal Higher Education Institutions (FHEI) are mainly composed of universities and they play a strategic role in the country´s economic, social, scientific and technological development. This study sought to evaluate the efficiency of FHEI in relation to the expenditure of public resources of the Federal Universities Restructuring and Expansion (FURE) program in 2015 and to verify the efficiency ratio of FHEI with environmental variables. The methodology used to measure this efficiency of the FHEI was Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) in two stages and the Tobit Regression. The calculation of the efficiency analysis for the year 2015 showed that 24 FHEI were considered efficient, corresponding to 44% of the sample, of which Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro, Federal University of Minas Gerais, Federal University of Vales do Jequitinhonha and Mucuri, Federal University of Amapa, Federal University of Para and Federal University of Rio de Janeiro stood out among the efficient ones. In the Tobit Regression analysis the adequacy of the FHEI efficiency model was verified and how this efficiency is related to the environmental variables.
