Research on Doctoral Studies
Research on Doctoral Studies:
The authors investigate the performance of Ph.D. students (in Economics) in their first year courses to determine the influence it has on the likelihood that they finish their thesis and their subsequent success in the labor market.
This paper analyzes the relationship between the attributes of graduate economics programs, and the occupational choices and publishing proficiency of recent Ph.D’s. The study indicates that research experience in graduate school (e.g. working as a research assistant, submitting and publishing articles) is positively associated with subsequent publishing proficiency. Other variables included in the analysis include: graduate school ranking, graduate school faculty size and its publishing proficiency, and individual demographic characteristics and academic experiences.
This paper analyzes the early research performance of PhD graduates in labor economics, addressing the following questions: Are there major productivity differences between graduates from American and European institutions? If so, how relevant is the quality of the training received (i.e. ranking of institution and supervisor) and the research environment in the subsequent institution of the job placement?
This study deals with influential factors for successful doctoral studies. The success factors of the first year exams and the completion of the thesis are examined.
The article examines what information in applications aids in finding candidates who have a high probability of completing their doctorate and successfully publishing.
The authors examine the extent to which the reputation of a doctoral supervisor affects the professional success of their doctoral students aspiring to an academic career.
The authors examine how the reputation of a doctoral adviser affects the productivity of their doctoral students.
The authors examine the extent to which a program’s quality and the prominence of the doctoral supervisor affect the future publishing successes of the doctoral students.
The authors investigate the influence of various factors on the duration of doctoral studies.
The authors examine the question of how well Ph.D. students (in Economics) were prepared for their future profession. Their analysis is based on surveys of former Ph.D. students who evaluated whether economic skills (such as critical judgment about hypotheses, analytical skills, etc.) have been sufficiently trained.
The authors examine which factors have the greatest influence on the starting salary of post- graduate students in the US labor market.
In this paper, the authors investigate factors influencing the duration of doctoral studies.
The authors have examined what characteristics of Ph.D. programs curtail the average length of study time?
This article investigates the reasons for the termination of doctoral studies.
The authors investigate factors with a positive effect on the probability of graduating with a PhD within five years.
The authors examine the factors that influence the likelihood and duration of completing a dissertation.
