• TITLE: Implications of University Resource Allocation under Limited Internal Adjustability

  AUTHORS: Yasumi Abe, Satoshi P. Watanabe

  KEYWORDS: University Decision Making, Resource Allocation, Prestige Maximization

  JOURNAL NAME: Theoretical Economics Letters, Vol.5 No.5, October 15, 2015

  ABSTRACT: This paper provides a theoretical framework for explaining counterintuitive behaviors of a university choosing an unfavorable consequence in the long term while attempting to optimally allocate its resources in the short term. Our analysis demonstrates the process through which conflicting interests among different departments within an institution may lead to an internal allocation arrangement, which would not necessarily yield the highest possible outcome for the whole.
