摘要
Leveraging personnel system reforms in 46 economics departments in Chinese universities, we conduct an event study to estimate the impact of the tenure-track system on research productivity. Using manually collected individual-level information on each faculty member in these departments, we show that tenure-track faculty have 0.135 (or 100%) more annual publications in high-quality journals during their probationary period than faculty hired under the traditional personnel system. Significant evidence shows that the increased incentives generated by the tenure-track system, not positive selection, leads to this increased productivity. The university tenure-track reform accounts for much of the increased productivity in Chinese economic research.
