From the historical point of view, we have clarified the details on how reckoning cost tables, such as an ordinary research expenses for a research unit (KOZA-KENKYUHI) in imperial universities and an ordinary unit cost (SEKISAN-KOHI) per student/teacher in the post WW II era, had worked in annual budget formulation procedure. For grasping the latest situation of national university corporations, we have conducted a questionnaire survey for all the national universities, and had their responses on abundance/scarcity and increase/decrease of their resources after their incorporation, and how those affected the design of their resource allocation systems. In addition to that, we have attempted to calculate unit cost per student in a sample university and considered how it would be useful for their better management. From the international comparative study, we have collected and examined the details on resource allocation systems in the United States, the United Kingdom and New Zealand in order to get some implications for Japan.
