Consequences of forced migration: A survey of recent findings (2019, background): “These effects were concentrated among younger scholars and did not affect those with an already established career, as Waldinger (2012) finds no effects of changes in peer quality on the scholarly outcomes of professors in mathematics, physics, and chemistry departments.”
Bombs, Brains, and Science: The Role of Human and Physical Capital for the Creation of Scientific Knowledge (2016, neutral): “…students declined in affected departments, while the productivity of established scientists was unaffected by the dismissal of their colleagues (Waldinger, 2010, 2012).1 This earlier research indicates that the productivity of individual faculty peers was not affected by the dismissal of…”
Peer Effects in the Workplace (2017, neutral): “Whereas Waldinger (2012) finds little evidence for knowledge spillover among scientists in the same department in a university, Azoulay, Graff Zivin, and Wang (2010) and Jackson and Bruegemann (2009) find support for learning from coworkers among medical science researchers and teachers,…”
The Elite Brain Drain (2009, positive): “our results are consistent with Waldinger’s (2008) finding that -- except for coauthors -- there are no strong externality effects among senior scholars.”
PEER EFFECTS IN ECONOMIC ATTITUDES (2014, neutral): “Other studies have identified leaders by grade levels or professional standing (Carrell et al. 2007; Waldinger 2012).”
Ties That Last (2013, background): “Research on the Matthew effect maintains that popular individuals attract more overtures from others for ties (Merton, 1973; Bothner, Podolny, and Smith, 2011) and thereby have greater returns to research productivity (Azoulay, Graff Zivin, and Wang., 2010; Oettl, 2012; Waldinger, 2012).”
Frontier Knowledge and Scientific Production: Evidence from the Collapse of International Science (2018, background): “Similarly, star scientists do not seem to have a positive e ect on their peers in the same department (Waldinger, 2012; Agrawal et al., 2017; Borjas and Doran, 2015). deaths], UK [16,829, mostly merchant eet], and Germany [720]), because the war was not fought on the territories of these countries.”
Social Networks and the Decision to Insure (2015, background): “…and Klenow (2002); Henkel and Maurer (2010); Maertens (2012)), criminal behavior (Bayer et al. (2009); Glaeser et al. (1996)), productivity (Bandiera et al. (2010); Mas and Moretti (2009), Waldinger (2012)), international trade (Chaney (2011)) and skill accumulation (Mookherjee et al. (2010)).”
