RESEARCH PUBLISHED BY AUSTRALIAN ECONOMICS AND ECONOMETRICS DEPARTMENTS 1988-93

This paper measures an important component of the research output of economics and econometrics teaching departments, namely, the number of pages published, during the period 1988-93, in journals listed by the Journal of Economic Literature. Based on page counts it is found that department rankings are similar over a broad range of journal groupings. It is also found that the median numbers of pages published by each of the groups of senior lecturers, associate professors and professors are quite small, indicating that within these groups research output is highly concentrated among a few active publishers.
