Abstrakt:
Innovation and human capital play a crucial role in the economic development.
Universities are one the main institutions influencing level of these factors, so states
or other public institutions has spent substantial funds on their functioning. Due to
political need to spend funds efficiently and effectively, for the last years previous,
mainly trust based, funding regimes has been partially replaced by new ways of
financing – performance based financing. These new forms have their own advantages
and weaknesses, but they are used short time to be able to evaluate their longer term
impacts. However, we could see how these forms change the distribution of funding.
In this article, we empirically looked at different types of universities funding and
compare how this funding affects different universities in case of Slovakia. We show
that the different schemes lead to quite different allocations. More than type of funding
is important how the criteria for funding are set up and how different sources are
complementary to the needs of universities.
