The long-term effect of research grants on the scientific output of university professors
基于卢森堡国家研究基金的数据，采用双重差分法发现研究资助使大学教授的科学产出增加31%，约为一篇额外论文，但产出在资助后五年左右回落，仅部分教授获得持久的论文质量提升。
A major source of research funding for university professors are competitive research grants. With focus on Luxembourg, we present results from a difference-in-difference analysis which show that research grants by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR), the central research funding agency in Luxembourg, increase the scientific output of university professors by 31% which corresponds to one additional publication. We further show that the scientific output drops again around five years after the grant receipt. We, however, find that those university professors who realise a quality increase of their journal publications in the years following the grant receipt benefit from a long-lasting publication quality effect.
