A Ranking of Doctoral Programs by Financial Research Contributions of Graduates

Robert C. Klemkosky and Donald L. Tuttle

Abstract: Published scholarly research is asserted to be a major criteria used to judge or assess the quality of a university's faculty. This assertion has been supported in many of the academic disciplines by comparing peer ratings of graduate programs and the research productivity of the faculty of those programs. In the economics area, John J. Siegfried [ 7] found a significant relationship between peer ratings of economics departments, using the ratings of the first American Council on Education study by Cartter, and the number of available pages contributed by the department to the leading economic academic journals. A recent study by Klemkosky and Tuttle [6] found the same relationship between an academic institution's published research productivity and the quality of the institution's graduate finance programs as rated by peers, using the survey results of Brooker and Shinoda [3] to determine peer ratings. The importance of published research in turn is recognized by many academic institutions since the relative quality and quantity of published research is one of the major criteria used in making faculty promotion and tenure decisions.
