\u8981\u65e8<\/th>\nThis project estimates the cost efficiency of U.S. higher education institutions using detailed data on finance and research output. We model universities and colleges as multi-output producers that jointly provide education and research, and estimate a flexible cost function to recover institution-level measures of cost efficiency. The analysis quantifies how costs vary with scale, scope, research intensity, and institutional type, allowing us to distinguish unavoidable cost differences from inefficiency in resource use. We then use the estimated cost structure to simulate the potential efficiency gains and losses from institutional consolidations. These simulations evaluate whether mergers between schools generate economies of scale or scope, or whether they create diseconomies due to increased complexity, mission mismatch, or changes in the education\u2013research production mix. Finally, the project examines the role of for-profit institutions in shaping the broader higher education industry.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
