Abstract

 

 Higher education institutions represent a key element for the development of individuals, which is reflected in the economic and social development of countries. This study reveals how higher education in particular helps in certain areas, and shows that problems such as lack of investment in this sector slow down productivity and the interest in researching in the area through the implementation of the Malmquist index, comparing the 43 countries that have universities cataloged within the World University Ranking for 2012, 2013 and 2014, and formulating a benchmark to help detect which areas provide opportunities to improve and achieve higher productivity.
