What Explains Differences in Finance Research Productivity during the Pandemic?
基于美国金融协会会员调查，分析人口特征、时间分配、生产机制和机构因素如何影响疫情期间的研究产出，发现女性、有幼童的教师、初级教师和博士生受影响更大，教学时间增加和健康担忧是重要因素。
ABSTRACT Based on a survey of American Finance Association members, we analyze how demographics, time allocation, production mechanisms, and institutional factors affect research production during the pandemic. Consistent with the literature, research productivity falls more for women and faculty with young children. Independently, and novel, extra time spent on teaching (much more likely for women) negatively affects research productivity. Also novel, concerns about feedback, isolation, and health have large negative research effects, which disproportionately affect junior faculty and PhD students. Finally, faculty who express greater concerns about employers’ finances report larger negative research effects and more concerns about feedback, isolation, and health.
