Abstract:
We investigate the correlation between autonomy (administrative and financial) with scientific output in 7-EU member-states. Specifically, we look at the ability of universities to hire and reward their academic staff according to their own criteria, to select their incoming students and to freely determine the content of their academic program. We also examine if the universities have been granted sufficient policy discretion over the allocation of the funds that are put at their disposal. Subsequently, we examine if these administrative and financial autonomy are granted together with increased accountability, with regard to both financial and academic matters. We then briefly present and analyze evidence concerning the educational outcomes of the policy reforms implemented in the 7-EU countries under examination. We measure scientific outcome through publications per million of population and highly cited publications, and we correlate them with academic freedom. We then construct an index that measures the autonomy and accountability of the academic institutions. We also relate public expenditure on R&D and academic performance as well as scientific output with labor market performance.
