How Economists Allocate Time to Teaching and Research
利用全美高校教师调查数据，比较经济学家与其他学科教授在教学与研究上的时间分配差异，并考察教师是否随激励变化调整时间。
This study investigates three questions: (i) are there differences in teaching and research behavior between economists and other professors; (ii) do economists in the top 100 research departments allocate time differently than faculty in other disciplines at similarly ranked departments; and (iii) do professors respond to changes in incentives in allocating their time? The study uses data from the National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF). The study specifies a regression equation controlling for institutional incentives to compare time allocation to teaching and research for economics professors and faculty members in math, physics, psychology, political science and business.
