本研究以715位经济学者为研究对象，以个人资料为基础，探讨研究生产力、教学与服务之间的关系。在回答在线调查时，这些经济学家提供了有关其教学和服务承诺以及个人和机构信息的信息。然后从EconLit获得每个被调查者的出版记录。总之，这些数据构成了系统研究研究生产力的丰富领域。Tobit分析的结果揭示了许多关于研究生产力的本质，强调了性别、合著、会议演讲和同行发表等因素的重要性。这项分析的重要发现之一是，教学和服务承诺对学院经济学家的研究生产力有显著的负面影响。这些关系在不同类型的学术雇主中都存在，尽管程度不同。总的来说，研究结果为学术学者、教师和同事的角色提供了有趣的见解。
This study investigates the relationships among research productivity, teaching, and service on the basis of individual-specific information involving approximately 715 academic economists. Responding to an online survey, these economists provided information regarding their teaching and service commitments as well as personal and institutional information. The publication record of each respondent was then obtained from EconLit. Together, these data constitute a rich field for the systematic study of research productivity. Results of a Tobit analysis reveal much about the nature of research productivity, underscoring, for instance, the importance of gender, coauthorship, presentations at conferences, and peers who publish. Among the more important findings from this analysis is that both teaching and service commitments have a significantly negative impact on the research productivity of academic economists. These relations hold across types of academic employer, though to varying degrees. Taken together, the results provide interesting insights into the roles of academic scholars, teachers, and colleagues.
