An investigation into the role played by research assessment in the socio-geographic fragmentation of undergraduate economics education in the UK

Abstract: This study charts the socio-geographic fragmentation of the economics discipline in the UK. It is revealed that the marriage of economics teaching and research is now limited to elite institutions located mainly in the south of the UK. None of the UK's new (post-1992) universities submitted to the Economics and Econometrics (E&E) unit of assessment (UOA) in 2014, the UK's most recent research evaluation exercise (REE).

“…Many nations have adopted research assessment models as a way of ranking the research performance of individual universities, often in connection with some allocation of performance-based research funding (see e.g. Wright et al, 2014;Schulze-Cleven and Olson, 2017;Johnston and Reeves, 2018). In some nations, performance-based academic workload models are also common for individual academics whose workloads comprise some combination of teaching, research and administration or service (Vardi, 2009;Papadopoulos, 2017).…”

A partir dessa iniciativa, novas formas de avaliação de qualidade da pesquisa acadêmica espalharamse rapidamente pelo mundo (Dill, 2003;Johnston & Reeves, 2018).…”
