The Search for Economics Talent: Doctoral Completion and Research Productivity

Abstract

estimated initial job placement using these same data.2 Existing studies examine degree completion for matriculants (Ehrenberg and Mavros 1995) and time-todegree for completers (Ehrenberg and Mavros 1995;John J. Siegfried and Wendy A. Stock 2001).

Patterns of Research Productivity in the Business Ethics Literature: Insights from Analyses of Bibliometric Distributions

“…For instance, evidence of relatively higher authorship concentrations across its leading journals in any discipline may reflect undesirable levels of ''entry barriers'' to scholarly publications, and thus problems in the underlying knowledge creation process (Swanson et al, 2007). That can stimulate legitimate discussion within the discipline about its doctoral student trainings, journals' editorial board compositions and peer review processes 1 (Grove and Wu, 2007;Hodgson and Rothman, 1999;Holbrook, 1986;Laband and Piette, 1994).…”

Ranking International Business Institutions and Faculty Members Using Research Publication as the Measure

“…such studies, among others, include the ranking of (a) authors and universities publishing iB articles (Morrison and inkpen 1991;trevino et al 2010); (b) authors, institutions and discipline content of published articles in the Journal of International Business Studies (JiBs) between 1970(inkpen and Beamish 1994; (c) authors and disciplines of articles published in JIBS between 1984and 1993(chandy and Williams 1994; (d) international business schools based on the measure of faculty publication (Kumar and Kundu 2004); and (e) schools based on publication data between 1995 and 2004 for four leading international business journals (chan et al 2006). the role and importance of ranking studies is well documented in literature spanning a variety of disciplinary areas, from sociology (espeland and sauder 2007; Sauder and espeland 2009), logistics (carter et al 2009), Strategy (Baden-Fuller et al 2000), Finance (Zivney and Bertin 1992), economics (Grove and Wu 2007), Management (Devinney et al 2008;Pisani 2009;Wedlin 2007;Werner 2002), Marketing (caruana et al 2009;Linton 2004;Mitra and Golder 2008), information systems (Willcocks et al 2008), Education (Sweitzer and Volkwein 2009), Research Methods (Mills et al 2006), to International Business (Macharzina et al 2004;Macharzina et al 1993). in addition to their broad disciplinary appeal, ranking studies have consistently appeared in prestigious journals for a long period of time.…”

Empirical regularity in academic research productivity patterns in marketing

“…For instance, evidence of relatively higher authorship concentration levels across leading journals in any discipline may reflect undesirable levels of "entry barriers" to scholarly publications and thus may imply problems in the underlying knowledge creation process (Swanson, Wolfe, & Zardkoohi, 2007). This can stimulate legitimate discussion within the discipline about its doctoral student training, editorial board composition, and peer review process 3 (Grove & Wu, 2007;Hodgson & Rothman, 1999;Laband & Piette, 1994).…”
