“…We proxy individual age of an author by the mean age of his/her peers at each career stage. According to Heining et al (2008), German economists, on average, pass their first university degree (Diplom) at the age of 25, they complete their Ph.D. at the age of 30 and they receive their habilitation at the age of 36. Again, we assign the average age of all contributing authors to each DGF paper, if available.…”

“…With respect to individuals, not papers, there exists an exhaustive literature which explores success factors of academics in the field of economics and business (see Graber et al 2008;Schulze et al 2008;Heining et al 2008, and the numerous references therein). Among other success factors as, e.g., the reputation of the school granting the Ph.D., this literature stresses the decisive role of publications for the progress of an academic career as both, quality and quantity of publications are crucial for tenure and salary decisions.…”

This paper analyzes whether formal collaboration in terms of coauthorship enhances paper quality in financial research. Analyzing all papers presented at DGF annual meetings in the period from 1996 to 2005, we report the following major findings: First, we find superior paper quality of coauthored papers compared to single-authored papers. This holds true for two quality proxies, publication probability and publication quality (as measured by the original and the updated Jourqual rating). Second, the capability of scholars, measured by a citation measure derived from citations in Google Scholar, shows to be an additional important factor for explaining paper quality. Third, the employed methodology of a paper (e.g., empirical analysis, theoretical analysis) does not systematically affect paper quality. However, it is important to differentiate between empirical and theoretical papers. Whereas coauthorship shows to be a quality enhancing factor for empirical papers, this does not hold true for theoretical papers. Fourth, the origin of data is a crucial determinant of the publication success for empirical papers. In particular, papers which exclusively analyze data from Germany are published in less reputable journals.

This paper investigates the determinants of tenure decisions in Germany, Austria and the German-speaking part of Switzerland for professorships in economics, business administration and related fields. Our dataset comprises candidates who were awarded tenure as well as those who were eligible but were not tenured. We show that business candidates have a higher probability of being tenured than economists. Youth, marital status and publications matter; gender and children do not. The market for first appointments in economics relies much more on publication performance than the market for business administration. Copyright 2008 The Authors.

“…Schulze et al (2008) suggest journal rankings that include business economics journals and discuss their relative merits. The paper most closely related to ours is by Heining et al (2007), who run various Cox regressions to identify determinants of success in the academic job market. Our results are more focused on one particular determinant, to wit publications.…”
