SUMMARY:

This study investigates the operational efficiency of public and private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Brazil from 2013 to 2023, using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) methodology. The analysis considers quantitative and qualitative indicators extracted from the Higher Education Census (INEP), including data on the increasing number of incoming students. During this period, the total number of incoming students rose from 2,196,822 in 2010 to 4,994,192 in 2023, with private for-profit HEIs accounting for approximately 74% of the total in 2023. To capture the evolution of productivity, the Malmquist Index is applied, along with econometric techniques such as Tobit regression with Simar and Wilson (2007) bootstrap. The results indicate that 35% of HEIs operate on the efficiency frontier, with public HEIs demonstrating greater homogeneity in efficiency scores, while private HEIs show greater heterogeneity due to variations in resources and infrastructure. A decline in the global efficiency of HEIs is
observed after 2020, related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and budget constraints. The South and Southeast regions host the most efficient HEIs, while the North and Northeast face structural challenges. This research is relevant to guide public policies that promote efficiency and equity in higher education, aligning resource management with expanded access and improved educational quality. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and educational managers in Brazil.
