The Research Assessment Exercise, the state and the dominance of mainstream economics in British universities
考察英国研究评估练习对异端经济学的影响，验证此前关于该评估导致经济学系偏向主流经济学家的结论是否仍然成立。
In previous research on the impact of the Research Assessment Exercise on heterodox economics and heterodox economists in the UK, the author concluded that reliance on Diamond List journals to rank departments would drive economic departments to discriminate positively in terms of their hiring, promotion and research strategies in favour of mainstream economists and their research, in order to maintain or improve their ranking. As a consequence, the author predicted there would be no or only a token presence of heterodox economists in an increasing number of departments. Whether the conclusions still hold and the predictions materialise is the subject of the paper. Copyright 2007, Oxford University Press.
