Wer trägt bei der Jahrestagung des Vereins für Socialpolitik vor?

Haufler, Andreas and Rincke, Johannes (17. December 2008): Wer trägt bei der Jahrestagung des Vereins für Socialpolitik vor? Eine empirische Analyse. Discussion Papers in Economics 2008-26

Abstract

The Annual Congress of the German Economic Association has become one of the largest national meetings of professional economists. The contributed papers at the Congress undergo a rigorous and competitive selection procedure where only about one half of all submissions are accepted for presentation. We analyze this selection process based on data from the Congresses held between 2005 and 2008. We find that the acceptance decision depends on the previous publication record of the submitting author and on the institution with which (s)he is affiliated. Moreover, the status of being a professor increases the likelihood of acceptance, whereas completion of a Ph.D.~degree, or even a habilitation, does not.
