In this paper, we discuss a method for defining the hierarchical structure 5 of a composite indicator of graduate human capital that could be used to measure 6 the educational effectiveness of Italian universities. The structure and weights of 7 the dimensions of graduate human capital, and the set and weights of the elemen- 8 tary indicators, were determined using a three-round Delphi-like procedure. We 9 contacted the rectors, the presidents of the evaluation boards and other qualified 10 professors at Italian universities, as well as representatives of worker unions and 11 entrepreneur associations. Our exercise shows that most dimensions of graduate 12 human capital are related to the educational role of universities and that weights 13 and indicators of the dimensions can plausibly be measured with the participation 14 of the concerned individuals.

Abstract
In this paper, we discuss a method for defining the hierarchical structure 5 of a composite indicator of graduate human capital that could be used to measure 6 the educational effectiveness of Italian universities. The structure and weights of 7 the dimensions of graduate human capital, and the set and weights of the elemen- 8 tary indicators, were determined using a three-round Delphi-like procedure. We 9 contacted the rectors, the presidents of the evaluation boards and other qualified 10 professors at Italian universities, as well as representatives of worker unions and 11 entrepreneur associations. Our exercise shows that most dimensions of graduate 12 human capital are related to the educational role of universities and that weights 13 and indicators of the dimensions can plausibly be measured with the participation 14 of the concerned individuals.Pubblicazioni consigliate
