英文摘要 |
Wu, Wang, and Peng (2004) have analyzed the publication productivity of accounting departments in Taiwanese colleges and universities from 1992 to 2001. Our study extends the analysis to 2010. We compare the data of the "re-testing period," 2002 ~ 2010, to that of the "comparative period," 1992 to 2001. The comparison shows that, on average, the publication productivity in the re-testing period was higher than that of the comparative period. Moreover, we find publication productivity to be associated with the faculties'demographic characteristics, such as co-authorship, teaching experience, and gender. Also of note is that the centralization of scholars involved in research activity (measured by Gini coefficient) improved over the re-testing period. The findings of this study can be used by faculties in career planning, by universities in departmental performance evaluations, by educational authorities in resource allocation decisions, and by the public in funding considerations. |
