Steffy, Kody; Langfeldt, Liv – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2023
Recently, social scientists have begun to study the implications of increasing pressures in the early academic career. Studies focusing mostly on the life sciences have shown junior scholars making research decisions based on a productivity logic to increase their chances of career success. In this paper, we extend this literature to the very…

Allgood, Sam; McGoldrick, KimMarie – Journal of Economic Education, 2023
Past survey evidence shows little change in how economists teach, but the pandemic forced change upon faculty. This survey investigates what that change looked like, whether faculty feel that the changes were for the better or worse for themselves and their students, and what changes faculty will continue post-pandemic.

Caviglia-Harris, Jill – Journal of Economic Education, 2020
Economists largely agree that writing is fundamental to understanding and communicating economics and can serve as an effective way to teach students to "think like economists." However, only a small percentage of programs include writing-intensive courses, a major research paper, or a senior thesis, and even fewer devote class time to…

Hellmich, Simon Niklas – Citizenship, Social and Economics Education, 2020
A considerable number of empirical studies argue that economics experts differ from other groups with respect to their public policy preferences and their behavior in certain social dilemmas. Economists are more likely to regard allocation via markets as "fair" than other people and they seem to adjust their behavior and expectations to…

Roetzel, Peter Gordon; Roetzel, Lina – Open Education Studies, 2023
In this article, we contribute to the longstanding debate among economists regarding the question of "nature or nurture" with respect to economics students' attitudes toward various allocation mechanisms for a scarce resource.
