| Abstract: |
We quantify the contribution of conferences to publication success of more
than 4,000 papers presented at three leading economics conferences over the
2006-2012 period. We show a positive link between conference presentation and
the publishing probability in high-quality journals. Participating in major
conferences is also associated with improved metrics for other measures of
academic success such as the number of citations or abstract views. While the
results are broadly similar across fields, annual meetings of the American
Economic Association are particularly valuable in these dimensions. We also
find that female authors appear to gain less from conferences than male
authors. |
