The aim of this study is to estimate the productivity and technology changes in the Islamic Azad
University (IAU) of Iran. The focus of this paper is using a model of Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI). MPI
is a body of research methodologies to evaluate overall efficiencies and identify the sources and estimate the
amounts of inefficiencies in inputs and outputs. By far the largest single cause of universities' overall technical
efficiency is pure technical efficiency, along with a considerable amount of scale inefficiency and a modest
amount of Congestion. No obvious regional differences in the universities' productivity growth are apparent
between 1999 and 2009. Decomposition of the MPI indicates that although there has been technological
progress over the years, poor scale efficiency and technical efficiency have resulted in deterioration in the
universities' average productivity.
Key words: Islamic Azad University, malmqvist productivity index, productivity, technology changes, , ,
