Research output at US economics departments

McPherson, Michael A

Research output at US economics departments created by Michael A. McPherson , Myungsup Kim , Megan Dorman and Nishelli Perera - Applied economics letters Volume 20, number 9 .

Using curricula vitae and EconLit, we examine the publication records of nearly 2000 academic economists. We consider the probationary period and the years between tenure and promotion to professor. Faculty tenured at top programmes average 3.44 articles in top-ten journals (and 8.75 total articles). The quality of faculty members' publications decreases with programme ranking; the quantity of publications does not differ much among top-100 programmes. Those promoted to professor generate fewer top-ten and total articles. There is some evidence that females produce fewer top-ten and total journal articles than males at many programmes.
