On the Relationship between the Student‐Advisor Match and Early Career Research Productivity for Agricultural and Resource Economics Ph.D.s
利用顶尖农业与资源经济学项目博士生的独特数据，研究发现导师的科研产出排名越高，学生早期科研产出也越高；低排名项目中跟随知名导师的学生甚至优于高排名项目中跟随普通导师的学生。
We use a unique data set on students receiving their Ph.D.s from top‐ranked agricultural and resource economics programs to investigate how the ranking of a student's dissertation advisor affects his or her early career research productivity. After controlling for program reputation, we find that the higher the relative research productivity of a student's dissertation advisor the greater the student's early career research productivity. Allowing the estimated effects of advisor rank to vary with program reputation suggests that students from lower‐ranked programs working with relatively more prominent advisors outperform their peers at highly ranked programs working with less prominent advisors.
