Abstract: |
This study examines the teaching and research activities of 17 Economics
Departments in 2005-2014 by consulting the information from each university’s
faculty prospectus, publication in accredited local and international
peer-reviewed journals, Economic Society of South Africa (ESSA) conference
participation, Economic Research Southern Africa (ERSA) working paper series
and the National Research Foundation (NRF). The results indicate there is big
variation in the departments’ teaching and research activities during the
period. Nonetheless, research output increased, in particular publication in
accredited international journals in both absolute and proportional terms. |
