Focus on efficiency and effectiveness has led to increasing demand for performance measures. In Denmark the tendency has been the same and in this article we discuss the latest proposed set of performance measures from the Ministry of Science. The purpose is to use the measures to allocate resources across universities. But it is obvious that these performance measures will have important behavioural consequences both across faculties, departments and within departments at a university. We are focusing on theses aspects in this article
