  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>This paper analyses the relationship between the public funding systems of higher education in <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">I</jats:styled-content>taly and the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">N</jats:styled-content>etherlands and their universities' performances. Empirically, an efficiency analysis on 13 <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">D</jats:styled-content>utch and 58 Italian public universities is conducted. The findings show that the relative efficiency of <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">I</jats:styled-content>talian and <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">D</jats:styled-content>utch universities is strongly influenced by the policy perspective adopted. If the goal is to realise the <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">E</jats:styled-content>uropean goals and minimise resources employed for obtaining a high number of graduates, <jats:styled-content style="fixed-case">D</jats:styled-content>utch universities turn out to be more efficient. However, Italian universities are much more efficient if the priority is to minimise the costs for a given level of activity, such as number of students.</jats:p>
