Izvori podataka za ovaj rad skupljeni su zahvaljujući pomoći i usluzi knjižnice Ekonomskog fakulteta, te pretraživanjem internetskih baza podataka, statističkih baza i članaka. Brojne baze podataka Državnog zavoda za statistiku, Hrvatskog zavoda za zapošljavanje i Ministarstva znanosti, obrazovanja i sporta korištene su pri izradi tabličnih i grafičkih prikaza, koji su u konačnici pridonijeli donošenju zaključaka. Proveden je i anketni upitnik. Zaključeno je kako bi javni ekonomski fakulteti više pažnje trebali pridodavati praktičnoj nastavi i praktičnom radu. Postojeća struktura i javnog i privatnog ekonomskog studiranja čini se zadovoljavajuća i ponuda je zaista velika. Neosporno je da je obrazovanje postalo odveć komercijalizirano. Treba poraditi na samoj kvaliteti nastave i kvaliteti znanja koje studenti donose nakon što završe studij. Također, potrebno je i smanjiti broj studenata ekonomije. Problem možda ne leži u upisnim kvotama, već u činjenici kako velik broj studenata studira čitav niz godina. Pitanje trajanja studiranja potrebno je dodatno regulirati.The aim of this study is to compare the situation in higher economic education in Croatia through a comparative analysis of public and private providers of the same.
