“…Those who were married published 70% more, but each additional child reduced publications by women health economists by 11%. In contrast, studies of economists of all fields found that women publish less than men (Taylor et al 2006;Buchmueller et al 1999). The Buchmueller et al study also found a lack of correlation between productivity and number of children in their study of recent doctoral recipients in economics.…”

This paper investigates the research productivity of U.S. health economists, both in the past five years and over their careers to date. We examine quantity of overall publications, as well as quantity within categories of journals. We study unique data from a 2005 survey of U.S. health economists who were members of the International Health Economics Association or the Health Economics Interest Group of AcademyHealth. Basic descriptives indicate that senior health economists have considerably greater five-year research productivity than less senior researchers. Roughly a third of health economists employed in economics departments report that publishing in non-economics journals is "not recommended" for promotion and tenure. Regression models indicate that the factors associated with greater productivity include: more hours spent per week on research, experience, and type of academic unit. The findings reported here offer insight into the heterogeneity of health economists and contribute to our understanding of the productivity of academic economists more generally.

“…It implies that early involvement in research activity as a research assistant, which allows a person to learn the process of conducting research, is more important to their future success than immediate publications as a graduate student. In fact, Buchmueller et al (1999) found that just submitting an article as a graduate student was positively related to publications as a faculty member. These findings suggest that graduate students must focus on equipping themselves with all the necessary tools and techniques while in school -both theoretical and methodological -that will enable them to conduct more and high quality research as faculty members.…”

“…Dunder and Lewis 1998; Toutkoushian and Webber 2011). Among these factors, as Buchmueller et al (1999) argued, academic and research training have not been sufficiently investigated while the demographics, current status and personal profile, and institutional characteristics have been empirically studied in some depth. This is because the internal academic and research training process is less well-known, and until now, researchers have considered it as a black box.…”

This study analyzes whether academics with advanced degrees from foreign universities are more research productive than their domestic counterparts in the three selected East Asian higher education systems -Korea, Hong Kong, and Malaysia. The three systems have relatively large proportions of foreign degree holders among their professoriates. The data for this study is drawn from the Changing Academic Profession survey. In our negative binominal regression analysis, we found that foreign degree holders are not more research productive than their colleagues with domestic degrees, and even slightly less productive than domestic degree holders in soft disciplines (arts, humanities, and social sciences) in Korea unless they have further foreign post-doc experience after their PhD. Furthermore, foreign degree holders are less productive in hard disciplines (natural sciences, engineering, and bio-medical sciences) in Malaysia. Finally, we discuss the findings and attribute them to contextual differences between the three localities.
