Abstract: The virtue of national entrance examinations : the case of university professor recruitment examinations within the field of management science -- This paper questions the virtues and limitations of national entrance examinations for the senior civil service, valued as guaranteeing both the public interest, by selecting the best qualified individuals and the interests of the specific individuals concerned, by guaranteeing that they will be judged on merit. It studies the process for recruiting university professors in more specific detail. Economics, political science and management science ‑ historically derived from law ‑ are disciplines for which university professors are recruited through national agregation examinations. The research focuses on the entrance examinations organised for management science since their creation in 1976 until the 2007 competition. It identifies the factors which determine success in these examinations. By conductingeconometric analyses, which provide results with all things being equal, the paper highlights the significant impact of scientific output, as well as a network effect, which is quantitatively more important than that of publications. These results thus question the more or less fair character of these entrance examinations.
