| Abstract: |
In this paper the authors present the findings of their research on a vast
database containing the relevant information on the scientific characteristics
of the three cohorts of assistant professors recruited in Italy in the early
1980s, the 1990s and the first few years of the new millennium. Their first
objective is to trace out the scientific profile of the assistant professor in
the early 1980s and the changes that came about in the following twenty-five
years due to general changes in the profession and in the specific conditions
of the Italian academic market. The second aim is to see what turn in
direction the scientific standard has taken for access to a career as a young
professor of economics, the number and typology of publications, the fields of
research. |
