CORe

Dimension on ETER database: A First
Exploratory Analysis
Valerio Veglio; Università della Svizzera Italiana
Benedetto Lepori; Università della Svizzera Italiana
USI
Aim
Preliminary descriptive analysis on the geographical
structure of HEIs activities and the association with
the FUAs characteristics.
USI
European Tertiary Education Register (ETER)
ETER register provides a set of information including
demographic information, geographical position (e.g.:
latitude and longitude), number of students and degrees,
number of staff, expenditures and revenues.
ETER database (2011-2012): 2.293 HEIs in 31 European
Countries (all EU-28 countries expect Slovenia and Romania,
plus Liechtenstein, Norway, Former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia and Switzerland).
Lack of information on Academic Staff (FTE) for UK, France,
Austria, Estonia, Greece, Latvia and Republic of Macedonia.
USI
Match Definition
 Match with the list of the municipalities
(source:[email protected]).
 Match with ETER database in order to aggregate each FUAs with
HEIs.

Discussion and Future Directions
1) Identification of Geographical Dimensions to be
integrate in ETER database.
1) HEIs Geographic Analysis by Country (e.g.: Do
most reputed HEIs are mainly concentrated in the
core of the FUAs? Which most reputed HEIs belong
to the periphery of the FUAs?).
3) Spatial Autoregressive Models.
