Scholarly Activity among Economists at Liberal Arts Colleges: A Life Cycle Analysis
Jenny Bourne; Nathan D. Grawe; Michael Hemesath; Maya Jensen
Journal of Economic Education, v55 n1 p85-103 2024
The authors of this article introduce a database of scholarship among liberal arts college (LAC) economists. Capturing publications across the life cycle, the data speak to questions unexplored in existing work and point to answers often contrary to popular wisdom. First, limited evidence of a rising tenure bar is found. Moreover, while some claim that LAC macroeconomists face particular publication hurdles, the authors observe similar levels of scholarship across the micro/macro divide. Finally, authors of publications outside ECONLIT are not interdisciplinary specialists. Rather, LAC economists who produce the greatest amount of work in indexed venues also make the largest contributions outside the discipline's traditional boundaries.
