Incentives to Research in European Public Universities

No 24, DEA Working Papers from Universitat de les Illes Balears, Departament d'Economía Aplicada

Abstract: In this paper we study the implementation of policy incentives aimed at increasing the research output at European public universities by university managers and public administrations. Although public universities are subject to significant management rigidities, we provide some interesting policies aimed at increasing their research output. We pay special attention to the principal agent problem between professors and university managers due to the career options that professors face outside the university.
