Abstract: Event history analysis is used to examine the process of becoming a full professor of economics in Sweden. The data encompass 256 Swedish doctors' dissertations in economics between 1951 and 1989. A piecewise constant exponential model is specified for the transition risk of becoming a full professor. The risk decreases with age at the defense of a doctoral thesis and increases with the current popularity of the chosen topic and with the number of times appointed faculty opponent. There is no indication of individual‐specific unobserved heterogeneity in the preferred model.
