This highly original book analyses the results of a pioneering set
of microdata on higher education institutions in 27 European
countries in order to address key issues in higher education and
research.For the first time, data on individual European higher
education institutions (rather than data aggregated at the country
level) is used in order to examine a wide range of issues that are
both theoretically challenging and relevant from policy-making and
societal perspectives. The contributors integrate statistics on
universities and colleges with other sources of information such as
patents, start-up firms and bibliometric data, and employ rigorous
empirical methods to address a range of key questions, including:
what is the role of non-university tertiary education such as
vocational training? How important is the private sector? Are
European universities internationalized? Are they efficient from
the point of view of costs and educational output? Are there pure
research universities in Europe? How do universities contribute to
economic growth? By furthering the current debate on the future and
competiveness of the European university model compared to that of
the US and Asia, this book will prove an invaluable reference tool
for academics and researchers in the fields of sociology of higher
education and economics, particularly the economics of innovation,
science and education. University decision-makers and
administrators as well as policy-makers at local and European
levels will also find this book to be a useful and enlightening
read. Contributors: R. Biscaia, A. Bonaccorsi, T. Brandt, M.F.
