It is surely an intriguing paradox that in an expanding environment of state medical services a private army of trained unpaid volunteers should be flourishing. Th...
متن کاملNber Working Paper Series Prizes and Productivity: How Winning the Fields Medal Affects Scientific Output
Knowledge generation is key to economic growth, and scientific prizes are designed to encourage it. But how does winning a prestigious prize affect future output? We compare the productivity of Fields medalists (winners of the top mathematics prize) to that of similarly brilliant contenders. The two groups have similar publication rates until the award year, after which the winners’ productivit...
