Are First Impressions Important in Academia?

Siow, Aloysius

Journal of Human Resources, v26 n2 p236-55 Spr 1991

Salary data from mathematicians and economists were used to test a model that first impressions of scholarly work are important to career success. Long-run salary increases from additional articles or citations decline with the age received. Large standard errors suggest that first impressions are not overly important. (Author/SK)
