Vliv zdrojů financování na kvalitu terciárního vzdělávání

This paper examines impact of the volume and structure of expenditure on quality of tertiary education expressed by the number of elite universities. The thesis also critically evaluates the academic rankings and their methodology. With econometric analysis based on data of OECD countries and partner countries I was able to prove that the total volume of expenditure positively affects the quality of tertiary education. When evaluating structure of expenditures, different results emerged. While the private expenditures positively affect the quality of tertiary education, the impact of the public expenditures on the quality of tertiary education has not been detected. Possible causes of these results are discussed consequently.
