Does Productivity Decline After Promotion? The Case of French Academia*
研究法国学术界晋升决策对后续生产力的影响，发现晋升后外部激励消失并未导致生产力下降，对理解学术激励设计有参考价值。
Abstract The present research examined the effect of promotion decisions on ex‐post productivity in French academia. As, once promotion decisions are known, most external incentives vanish for promoted candidates, their productivity was expected to decrease. This hypothesis was tested by using an original dataset and matching methods to evaluate the impact of promotion on publication scores. The robustness of the matching estimates was tested using sensitivity analysis. The results clearly show that the removal of extrinsic incentives following promotion does not lead to a fall in productivity in French academia.
