Hogan, Timothy D. 1986. "The Publishing Performance of U.S. Ph.D. Programs in Economics during the 1970s." Journal of Human Resources 21(2):216-229.

This paper examines the relative publishing performance of u.s. Ph.D. programs in economics for the 1970-79 period compared with the 1960-69 period. It presents information on performance both on an aggregate basis and in terms of per capita publication figures. In addition to presenting tabulations for the entire group of authors, it separately analyzes the publishing output of "recent" Ph.D.s-those authors identified as being awarded doctorates during or after 1969-70. It also compares the measures of relative publishing performance with several characteristics of the graduate programs such as size, faculty-student ratios, and faculty publication records.
