JRI, JF,and the Internet: Coauthors, New Authors, and Empirical Research

Richard J. Butler

Journal of Risk & Insurance, 2007, vol. 74, issue 3, 713-737

Abstract: This article examines how the Internet has changed the work of academic researchers and addresses the question of how expanded Internet usage has affected Journal of Risk and Insurance (JRI) and Journal of Finance (JF) articles, including the shift to empirical research, joint authorship, and new authorship. Internet availability significantly increased joint authorship overall (more for JF than for JRI), shifting upwards a strong secular trend toward working with other researchers. Another big impact of the Internet has been to increase the number of new authors (more for JRI than for JF).
