DESCRIPTION:Dr. Claudio Fasso\, Lund University\n"Researcher and academic 
 careers: does mobility raises scientific productivity? "\n\nAbstract\nUsin
 g a highly comprehensive new dataset on Swedish researchers\, we investiga
 te the effects of inter-university mobility on researcher productivity usi
 ng a matched sample of academics\, combined with difference-in-differences
  analyses. In our baseline specification\, we find that mobility raises pu
 blication productivity by 8 percent and citation rates by 4 percent. These
  effects do not hold when we employ instrumental variable (IV) techniques 
 using increases in retirements at the scientific-field level to identify e
 xogenous variations in mobility. Furthermore\, we decompose the effect of 
 mobility over career stages and university hierarchies. In line with earli
 er literature\, we find that the positive effects seem to be driven by mob
 ility to research-intensive universities. However\, when we employ an IV-a
 pproach these effects also disappear. Taken together our results suggests 
 that the gains from mobility in academia is mainly driven by assortative m
 atching – i.e. that productive researchers self-select or are selected t
 o high-productive departments.\n
