| Abstract: |
We investigate the research performance of 404 economists working in 17
Economics Departments and 4 countries. Two countries from the North of Europe
(Belgium and Denmark) are compared with two countries from the South (Greece
and Portugal) in terms of research productivity. Their performance is ranked
using bibliometric indices. We examine the factors that drive economist’s
research performance using OLS and quantile regression analysis. The most
productive economists have a US PhD and work in the North. Inbreeding at the
national level is associated with higher productivity in the North and lower
in the South. |
