DESCRIPTION:The new public management paradigm\, the raise of the number of
  students and a stronger international competition in attracting external 
 funds for large research projects have lead universities to increase the n
 umber and role of non-academic (i.e. administrative and technical) staff t
 o support the efforts of the academic staff to effectively face these new 
 and complex challenges. While the role of academic staff for university pe
 rformance is clear (professors teach\, do research and eventually other kn
 owledge transfer activities)\, the contribution of non-academic staff inst
 ead is tricky.  Non-academic staff may be beneficial to university perform
 ance if it supports the main activities carried out by the academic staff.
  On the other end\, it may be detrimental for university performance if it
  translates in an increase of administrative burden to academics that subt
 racts time to teaching and research. We shed new lights on this relevant t
 opic analyzing European universities. We consider the quality of non-acade
 mic staff as an “unobserved” factor and estimate it nonparametrically. Aft
 erwards\, we assess its impact of the performance of European universities
 . In the conclusions we outline directions for further research. Short Bio
