Retention of talented academic researchers: Evidence from a government intervention
研究了加拿大研究席位计划对学术人才保留的影响，发现该计划虽使薪酬平均增加6.3%，但并未降低研究人员离职率，且大部分资助未转化为薪酬增长。
Abstract The Canada Research Chairs (CRC) Program is designed primarily to retain academic talent in Canadian universities by providing targeted grants to outstanding researchers. Once awarded a chair at her home university, a researcher's compensation increases by 6.3% on average, with a significant decline over CRC tenure. Furthermore, the chance of the researcher changing jobs does not decrease. Although universities report spending more than half of the grant on compensation, only a small portion of the grant can be accounted for as a compensation increase. This demonstrates the difficulty in designing government interventions to have an impact on academic retention.
