“…For instance, while Borjas and Doran (2012) and Waldinger (2012) find negative and no spillover effects, respectively, for same department peers of star scientists, Waldinger (2010) and Azoulay, Graff Zivin, and Wang (2010) report positive spillovers for doctoral students and collaborators of star scientists. The emphasis on context suggests that it is difficult to extrapolate the results of Kolympiris, Hoenen, and Klein (2017), which is the only work, other than the current study that analyzes spillovers from NSF rotators. Using a different research design, methods, and samples, the latter work does not focus on researchers who arguably have the highest need for funds-early career scientists-and, unlike the current study, does not shed light on the dynamics of the potential effect of rotators on their colleagues.…”
