Analysis Of The Comparative Efficiency Of Russian Universities From 5-100 Program

The functioning of higher education is a priority area of state policy. Determining the importance of developing this sphere, it should be noted that the activities of universities should be measurable not only in terms of achieving specific indicators, but also in terms of the efficiency of using financial resources allocated from the federal budget. Management of the higher education system is a multi-level and complex process of distributing tasks to the level of higher educational institutions, the implementation of which ensures the achievement of goals defined by state policy. Considering the management of universities at the highest level, the government is the initiator of the impact, regulating the system of higher education and each university in particular not directly, but indirectly, through the formation of various kinds of short, medium and long-term target documents. In the work, based on the application of the dea method, an analysis was made of the comparative effectiveness of universities from the state development program 5-100. Leading universities were identified, and benchmarks were allocated for each less efficient university. The model was built on both input and output parameters, which allowed the authors to give recommendations on improving the effectiveness of universities and their achievement of benchmarks.
