Faculty Research Activity and the Quality of Graduate Training
研究美国顶尖经济学博士项目中，教师科研产出、学生入学质量与博士培养质量的关系，发现教师科研活动和学生质量均正向影响培养质量。
This study examines the relationships between program size, the quality of entrants and of the faculty, the faculty's published research output, and the average quality of the PhDs during the 1960s trained by the top 36 U.S. graduate programs in economics. The empirical evidence supports the hypotheses (1) that faculty research activity contributes positively to the quality of graduate training, and (2) that the quality of the input to a PhD program-that is, the quality of entering students-is significantly related to quality of the PhDs produced by that program.
