Star recruitment and internationalization effects: an analysis of the Alexander von Humboldt professorship programme Coda Zabetta, Massimiliano Lissoni, Francesco Miguélez, Ernest Premis científics Investigadors Aprenentatge per descobriment Política científica Contractes de recerca i desenvolupament Science awards Research workers Learning by discovery Science and state Research and development contracts We investigate the impact of policies aimed at attracting foreign-based star scientists on the internationalisation of host institutions. In particular, we examine the case of the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship (AvHP) programme, which - since 2008 - offers substantial funding to top scholars willing to move from abroad to a German university. Based on a difference-in-differences approach, we test whether the university departments that recruit an AvHP recipient increase the number of internationally co-authored publications and the recruitment of new, high-quality researchers from abroad. Results are very heterogeneous across broad scientific fields, with a significant and positive effects in the Social sciences and null or negative results in all others. 2025-05-06T11:42:09Z 2025-05-06T11:42:09Z 2024-09-01 2025-05-06T11:42:09Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 0391-2078 https://hdl.handle.net/2445/220850 756833 eng Reproducció del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1007/s40812-024-00321-4 Journal of Industrial and Business Economics, 2024, vol. 51, p. 667-690 https://doi.org/10.1007/s40812-024-00321-4 (c) Associazione Amici di Economia e Politica Industriale, 2024 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 23 p. application/pdf application/pdf Springer Nature Articles publicats en revistes (Econometria, Estadística i Economia Aplicada)
