Abstract

The study was performed aiming to carry out a performance analysis for Brazilian federal universities subscribed to the Reuni, as well as to identify efficiency conditioning factors for the period from 2008 to 2015. The data envelopment analysis was carried out to measure the relative efficiency, and the Tobit model was used to determine factors associated with the efficiency. Results show that Brazilian federal universities operated below their potential in the period under study, showing a decrease in performance over time, especially in 2009, with gradual recovery in the following years. By analyzing the student-teacher ratio and the service given by teachers to students at master's and doctoral degrees, universities appeared to become somewhat more uniform. The greater ratio student-teacher and student-servant showed a positive relationship with the performance, as well as the association between the size of universities with the higher efficiency score. The quantity of campuses found out of headquarters showed a negative relationship with the efficiency of universities under study.
