摘要

小型开放经济体的政策制定者对利用明星科学家招聘政策来促进目标研究领域的地方集群发展越来越感兴趣。我们使用Scopus收集了1990年至2017年丹麦、爱尔兰和新西兰140多万篇出版物和随后引用的数据集。事件研究模型用于估计恒星到达对部门和匹配的个人在职水平的质量调整研究产出的动态影响。明星的到来与4年后部门产出（不包括明星的产出）的统计显著增长有关，增长幅度在12%至25%之间。在在职者层面，明星的到来会使个人产出增加约5%，与明星合作的在职者的产出增幅要大得多。

Stars as catalysts: an event-study analysis of the impact of star-scientist recruitment on local research performance in a small open economy

There is increasing interest among policymakers in small open economies in the use of star-scientist recruitment policies to catalyse the development of local clusters in targeted research areas. We use Scopus to assemble a dataset on over 1.4 million publications and subsequent citations for Denmark, Ireland and New Zealand from 1990 to 2017. An event-study model is used to estimate the dynamic effects of a star arrival on quality-adjusted research output at both the department and matched individual incumbent levels. Star arrivals are associated with statistically significant increases in department output (excluding the output of the star) of between 12% and 25% after 4 years. At the incumbent level, star arrivals lead to an approximately 5% increase in individual output, with substantially larger increases for incumbents who co-author with the star.

期刊介绍： The aims of the Journal of Economic Geography are to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, and to provide a world-class journal in the field. The journal is steered by a distinguished team of Editors and an Editorial Board, drawn equally from the two disciplines. It publishes original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of ''economic geography'' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and are evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
