“…We do this for a random subsample of almost 1,200 individuals for whom we have collected citation data from Google Scholar. 31 While we find that our main results hold, i.e., salary increases with both quality and quantity of publications, we also find a significant positive incremental effect of the number of citations, which is consistent with the results in Hamermesh et al (1982), Sauer (1988) and Moore et al (1998Moore et al ( , 2001. A second, non-mutually exclusive measure of publication quality is the recognition of that publication or author by the American Accounting Association (AAA).…”

“…11 Our expectation is that departments offering doctoral degrees will provide higher levels of compensation than those offering masters, etc. Moore et al (1998Moore et al ( , 2001) incorporate a measure of the reputation of the institution from which the faculty member received his/her doctorate. While neither paper found a significant association with salary we elect to incorporate a measure for pedigree, as we are aware that faculty members, or at least new hires, with degrees from prestigious institutions, are highly desirable to our respective Deans, who then advertise those pedigrees to students and donors.…”

“…For faculty without PhD this variable is coded as zero. Mittal et al (2008), Moore et al (1998Moore et al ( , 2001 and O'Keefe and Wang (2012) also incorporate gender into their analyses, finding differences in faculty research output but little impact on salary after controlling for other factors. We include gender as an indicator variable taking the value of 1 if the faculty member is male.…”

Accounting faculty in the USA are rewarded for publishing, with the reward increasing with journal quality. We estimate the increase in annual salary for a top tier publication to be $5,609, with the increase varying across ranks -from $2,008 for an endowed professor to $9,452 for an assistant professor. As these are increases in base salary, under reasonable assumptions for longevity and discount rate, the present value of a top tier publication exceeds $145,000 for an assistant professor. We also document that the reward varies systematically across schools and over time. While we find significantly greater average salaries at doctoral granting institutions, we find the reward per publication is greater at non-doctoral granting institutions. We also find that more recent publications are valued more highly, and that the payoff for a top tier publication has increased over time, while that for lower tier publications has decreased.

“…For example, many collected volume articles are reprints, or are not peer reviewed. Sauer (1988) and Moore, Newman and Turnbull (1998), who attempt to identify the effect of non-journal publications on salary, find that the correlation is low and imprecise. Omitting non-journal publications is particularly undesirable in some fields, such as economic history, in which monographs are an important outlet for research.…”

Co-authorship and the output of academic economists

2001

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper uses panel data on 339 economists to evaluate the relationship between coauthorship and output. It is shown that for a given individual, more coauthorship is associated with higher quality, greater length, and greater frequency of publications. However, the net relationship between coauthorship and output attributable to the individual is negative after discounting for the number of authors. The results of this paper suggest that universities and granting agencies which preferentially reward research collaboration may be undermining their goal of maximizing research output. JEL: D2, J0

Internal markets for department chairs: Comparative advantage, life-cycle, and jury duty

We examine the internal market for department chairs in U.S. universities and provide the first empirical evidence concerning the determinants of departmental chair service using data from the economics departments in eight large public universities. The results reveal the wage premium for chairs increases with length of service and continues for an extended period thereafter. The chair premium largely represents compensation for foregone research and the attendant atrophy of research skills. The empirical results also indicate that departments tend to choose productive scholars to serve as chair, but avoid putting their most productive scholars in that position unless they are past their peak productivity period in their life-cycle. 0
