演讲主题：

High and Rising Institutional Concentration of Award-Winning Economists

地点：清华大学新土木馆B200

We analyze the academic affiliations of nearly 6,000 award-winning researchers in 18 major fields in the natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences, dating back to the 1840-1850s but mostly covering 1960 to 2022. The data shows a trend decline in the concentration of institutional affiliations of award-winning researchers from a few science-strong universities in high income countries toward a more diverse set of institutions across the world. The decline in concentration is found in large fields, such as physics and chemistry, and in small fields, such as earth science and astronomy – indeed in all fields but one. The exception is economics, in which the institutional affiliation of prize-winning researchers has become more concentrated over time, making economics the top field in the institutional concentration of award-winners. We link the anomalous pattern in economics to stronger network connections among economists than among researchers in other fields and to the nature of the evidence that establishes scientific consensus in economics versus other fields. We conclude by comparing the benefits and costs of the institutional concentration of prize-winners and the potential for economics to become more like the other sciences in the future.
