Does Job Mobility Improve Academic Talents'Research Productivity?
The mobility of academic talents is an important policy issue for academic communities to promote research productivity,but whether the mobility can improve research productivity is still controversial.This paper examines the effect of mobility on the productivity of academic talents by taking the Yangtze River Scholars appointed by the Ministry of Education for example.The regression results show that mobility is beneficial for the improvement of scholars'research productivity,especially for their English publications.The research explains the regression results with the matching incentive effect and knowledge recombination effect.Considering the international development of higher education and S&T innovation in China,the matching incentive effect is the main mechanism to explain the estimated results.The government should promote the orderly mobility of academic talents by improving the institutional environment and establishing a compensation mechanism for the talents outflow institutions,and pay attention to guide the academic talents'mobility from interest incentive to knowledge restructuring.
