我们认为，市场力量塑造了整个欧洲在中世纪的上尾人力资本的地理分布，并有助于在人文和科学革命的黎明支持大学。我们建立了一个独特的数据库，其中包含来自欧洲各地大学的数千名学者，构建了他们能力的指数，并绘制了中世纪和近代早期的学术市场。我们发现，学者往往集中在最好的大学（聚集），更好的学者更敏感的大学的质量（积极排序）和迁移更远的距离（积极选择）。聚集，选择和分类模式证明了一个完整的学术市场，通过使用共同语言（拉丁语）成为可能。
We argue that market forces shaped the geographic distribution of upper-tail human capital across Europe during the Middle Ages, and contributed to bolstering universities at the dawn of the Humanistic and Scientific Revolutions. We build a unique database of thousands of scholars from university sources covering all of Europe, construct an index of their ability, and map the academic market in the medieval and early modern periods. We show that scholars tended to concentrate in the best universities (agglomeration), that better scholars were more sensitive to the quality of the university (positive sorting) and migrated over greater distances (positive selection). Agglomeration, selection and sorting patterns testify to an integrated academic market, made possible by the use of a common language (Latin).
