Output Counts: Comparing the Published Contributions by Agricultural Economists across Countries

Rolf A E Mueller and Daniel Sumner

European Review of Agricultural Economics, 1999, vol. 26, issue 4, 533-48

Abstract: Agricultural economics research is an international endeavour that benefits from the free exchange of knowledge. Using data from the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) we compare for the period 1987-97 the published contributions by agricultural economics professors from universities in Germany, the Netherlands, the UK and the US, and we measure citations. There are considerable differences in the contributions per capita to the international journal literature and in citations received. Germany has contributed much less per capita than the other countries and its agricultural economists have received fewer citations. The percentage distributions for articles and citations are remarkably similar across countries. Copyright 1999 by Oxford University Press.
