PANTOJA-AGUILAR, Martín P.. Indicators of Academic Performance as Predictors of Financial-Resource Raising. Convergencia [online]. 2019, vol.26, n.79, 008. ISSN 2448-5799.  https://doi.org/10.29101/crcs.v0i79.9222.

This study was conducted on State Public Universities (SPU) in Mexico to ascertain the possible existence of a correlation between their performance in their indicators of academic excellence and the level of allocation of financial resources obtained from the main sources of funding from the federal government. By means of the determination of the academic and financial indicators used by the main international and national organisms, a methodological proposal of statistical analysis was constructed to evaluate the academic performance of SPU and its correlation with the reception of financial resources. The results showed that there is insufficient evidence to infer that obtaining better academic results in Mexican SPU is a reliable predictor to obtain greater financial resources. This demonstrates the need for a clear policy in the allocation of resources to institutions.
