Bombs, Brains, and Science: The Role of Human and Physical Capital for the Creation of Scientific Knowledge (2016, unknown): “…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…”
Frontier Knowledge and Scientific Production: Evidence from the Collapse of International Science (2018, background): “…universities (Waldinger, 2016, Agrawal et al., 2017), attract researchers to promising research elds (Moser et al., 2014), and train PhD students (Waldinger, 2010).3 With the stock of knowledge constantly increasing, scientists must absorb ever more information to reach the knowledge frontier…”
