This study aims to evaluate the relationship between resource allocation and operational efficiency in Chinese key universities.
Evaluated 60 universities affiliated with the Ministry of Education of China from 2004 to 2023.
Employed a two-stage Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Bootstrap truncated regression.
Analyzed factors influencing operational efficiency and resource use.
Greater resource concentration does not necessarily enhance operational efficiency, indicating diminishing returns.
Efficiency varies across university groups depending on model specification and output composition.
Optimized faculty structure and quality postgraduate education are crucial for sustainable operational efficiency.
