| Popis: | 97 In the field of Personnel Economics, Tournament Theory was proposed by Lazear and Rosen (1981) to explain the pay differentials of the organizations. In this study, we extended this theory to the funding structure of competitive project and used data on the award-winning universities and colleges of MOE’s Teaching Excellence Project in Taiwan between 94-97 academic year to examine the funding structure of competitive project whether there is any application of Tournament Theory, that is, whether the changes of education indicators have any effects on the funding gap. Our empirical results confirm that the Tournament Theory actually existed in the MOE’s competitive project. The competition of education indicators affect the funding gap. On the part of universities, the main indicators are the ratio of medical, engineering, and agriculture students, the ratio of online syllabus, and the ratio of research project number; on the part of technological and vocational universities, the primary indicators are student-teacher ratio and the ratio of research project number. The MOE must pay attention to the funding gap of the competitive project and properly use the scheme of higher education funding distribution. |
