The influence of regulatory frameworks on research and knowledge transfer outputs: An efficiency analysis of Spanish public universities

In 2007, Spain reformed its regulatory framework to give priority to research and knowledge transfer activities at universities. It is in this context that we examine the efficiency of Spanish public universities and their evolution during the period 2006–2010. Results report that on average, univer...
