RESEARCH QUESTION
1. To assess the productivity and trade-off between teaching, research and knowledge transfer in Spanish public universities from 2002 to 2004.
2. To analyze teaching, research and knowledge transfer quality for showing how Spanish Higher Education System is developing their missions.

Malmquist output-oriented productivity index to decompose the total productivity change into:
technological (or technical) change technical efficiency change (which is formed by pure efficiency change and scale efficiency change).
We assume constant returns-to-scale to start with. Annual observations of 47 Spanish public universities (DMUs are universities). Studied period: 2002-2004.
SOURCE OF DATA
The data set used in productivity analysis was collected as part of the AQUAMETH project supported by the 6th FP.
3 INPUTS Total expenditure () Academic staff Technical & administrative staff 3 OUTPUTS - Graduate students (proxy to measure education) - Publications (proxy to measure research) - Applied research () (proxy to measure knowledge transfer) 3 MODELS Teaching-model (only graduates are included) Research-model (only publications are included) Knowledge transfer-model (only applied research is included)

1. PRODUCTIVITY ANALYSIS

REFLEX: a major representative survey comparing the study programme of European higher education graduates. It was funded by the 6th FP. 15 countries: Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and the UK plus Belgium-Flanders, Czech Republic, Portugal, Switzerland, Japan and Estonia . Carried out in 2005 (graduates surveyed 5 years after graduation) Almost 40,000 answers (3,000 for each country)

DEPENDENT VARIABLES - Teaching model: To what extent has your programme been a good basis for ?
(from (1) Not at all to (5) to a very high extent )
INDEPENDENT VARIABLES
Gender, Disciplines, Average grade, Description of the programme, Modes of teaching, Part-time students, Internships and work experience during higher education, Others type of study, Occupations, Competencies, Firm sector, Extension of innovation in organizations, Forefront or adopting innovation, Type of contract, Scope of firms, Responsibilities.

QUALITY ANALYSIS
- Programmes in engineering and health, academically prestigious and oriented to practical knowledge are better for starting work, for further learning on the job. - Graduates who have additional studies, who have a professional job in a private sector and who are creative are introducing more innovations in their organizations than those who do not. - Graduates who have entrepreneurial skills and who have a permanent contract play a role in transferring knowledge from universities to enterprises.
16
FURTHER RESEARCH
- Additional specifications of university productivity should be examined: size, age, knowledge area, regional differences, comparison between public and privates universities, etc - It would be interesting to apply a conditional robust nonparametric approach to do more detail interpretations - To improve the quality analysis considering others independent variables and comparing the results at European level.
