Trends in Multi-Authored Papers in Economics
研究了八本顶级经济学期刊中多作者论文的增长趋势，发现1950年代少见，到1990年代已普遍，增长在1960年代中期和1970年代中期后尤为显著，并探讨了计算机技术等可能原因。
This paper looks at the growth of multiple-authored papers in eight leading economics journals. In 1950, multiple authorship was a relative rarity. By the 1990s, it had become commonplace. An empirical analysis suggests that this growth has not been even over time but appears to have been greatest in the mid-1960s and again since the mid-1970s. Possible reasons for this growth include developments in computer technology. Its implications for the economics profession are briefly discussed.
