- Abstract
This paper aims to evaluate the productive efficiency of post-graduate programs, more particularly the referred programs in the economics field benefited by public policies from the Program of Academic Excellence (Proex) and Postgraduate Support Program (Proap). A total of 34 academic economics programs were analyzed regarding the evaluation of the Coordination for Improvement of Higher Education Personnel Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes) in the period from 2010 to 2012. The instrument used for the calculation of the efficiency was conceived using the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method in three stages, denominated network DEA, with Constant Returns to Scale (CRS), product oriented, this model was originally introduced by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978). In the first stage, five programs achieved efficiency in registrations in relation to the number of teachers and funding received from Capes. Regarding the graduation rates and participation in events, variables of the second stage, five programs were also successful. In the third stage, which analyzed the efficiency of publications in articles and chapters of books measured by Capes weights, seven programs achieved expected efficiency. Of the efficient programs, which simultaneously offer master's and doctoral courses, four are in the first stage; four in the second stage; and three of them in the last stage. The others only offer the masters level. It is noted that, according to the inputs and outputs adopted, all the efficient programs in the three stages analyzed belong to Proap. It is worth mentioning that the DEA model is a deterministic method and, in this way, the performance evaluation of the programs becomes more objective.
