Academic research and teaching productivities: a case study

Article Abstract:

Joint-product production functions in 31 academic departments are estimated using a micro-micro theory approach. Of particular concern are faculty research and teaching productivities as affected by department and faculty size. One of the key findings is that teaching productivity declines and research productivity increases as faculty size increases. On the other hand, department size negatively affects research productivity but positively impacts on teaching productivity.
