The objective of this study is to estimate the efficiency for a group of Chilean universities. Based on\ndata envelopment analysis (DEA) technique, and taking into account the reality of the Chilean university\nsystem. A DEA model with two input variables [operating expenses and academics full time equivalent\n(FTE)] and three output variables (operating income, Institute for Scientific Information (ISI)\npublications and student enrollments) was developed to evaluate the performance of 34 Chilean\nuniversities. The empirical results indicate that 9 of each 34 institutions are efficient to financial\nperformance level, and at the research and teaching levels. In addition, these do not reveal significant\nstatistical differences, between the efficiency of public and private institutions.
