“…We assume a lag of two to three years between the research process and the publication date, based on Ellison (2002), who reports an average time lag between submission and acceptance of between nine and 29 months for thirty top journals in economics. In order to relax our assumption, we smooth output and flatten short-term effects by using the average (Beckmann and Schneider, 2011) over two years of research output as rolling window (Levin and Stephan, 1991). As a result, the average counts of articles published in t + 2 and t + 3 measures research output of the research process at time t.…”

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may AbstractAnalysing a comprehensive panel dataset of economists working at Austrian, German, and Swiss universities, we investigate how the local environment influences a scientist's research productivity. The research environment varies if a scientist joins another department or if the characteristics of his colleagues change. We find no influence of the research environment on the average researcher's productivity, if we control for individual characteristics. This result indicates that with today's communication technologies spillovers are not bounded locally.JEL classification: I23, J62.

“…Fiedler and Welpe (2008) investigate the factors that are important determinants for universities in German-speaking countries in regard to the appointment of management professors. Beckmann and Schneider (2013) also address appointment preferences in German economics. However, they focus explicitly on the impact of scholars' publications on obtaining tenure.…”

The times they are a-changin’: profiling newly tenured business economics professors in Germany over the past thirty years

This study examines how the profiles of newly tenured business economics professors in Germany have changed over the past thirty years. We document how business economics professors have become more diverse over time, e.g., in terms of their gender and the internationality of their education. Furthermore, we show that the size of the professional networks of newly tenured professors increased strongly during our investigation period and that those professors who obtained tenure more recently publish with a stronger international focus than their peers who obtained tenure earlier. Most importantly, we find that the publication requirements for newly tenured business economics professors have changed over the past thirty years. Specifically, we document increased requirements for publications in highly renowned international journals. However, we also find that traditional German business economics journals (e.g., the Journal of Business Economics and the Schmalenbach Business Review) remain highly relevant outlets for recently tenured business economics professors. Thus, by documenting and quantifying these effects, our study contributes to research on business economics professors by highlighting how the times they are a-changin’.

“…The importance of research evaluation stems from the fact that researchers are evaluated at many points in their careers with respect to their research output. These instances include, for example, obtaining the first tenured position, but also the allocation of competitive third party funding 1 or the distribution of resources within a faculty (Graber et al 2008;Hudson and Laband 2013;Mingers and Willmott 2013;Beckmann and Schneider 2013;Hicks 2012). In particular, the performance-based allocation of resources within university faculties has gained relevance in Germany (Brähler and Strauss 2009;Hornbostel 2006;Münch 2008;von Görtz et al 2010).…”

Publication Behavior in Different Fields of Business Administration: From Anecdotal to Empirical Evidence

In this paper, we substitute anecdotal with empirical evidence regarding the publication behavior of German business administration professors. We find that in particular the publication behavior of accounting researchers differs strongly from the publication behavior of researchers in other business administration fields with respect to (i) the national focus, (ii) the focus on practitioner journals, (iii) the focus on particularly renowned journals, and (iv) the holistic publication output. More precisely, we document that accounting professors have a stronger national focus, publish more in practitioner journals, and publish less in particularly renowned journals. Overall, our analyses document distinct differences in publication behavior across the fields of business administration, which should presumably being considered when evaluating the publication portfolios of professors across fields, e.g., in the context of resource allocation in business administration faculties.
