There is good reason to think that non-elite programs in economics may be producing relatively more research than in the past: research expectations have been ramped-up and new information technologies have changed how academic knowledge is produced and exchanged. This study investigates this question by examining publishing productivity in economics (and business) using data from the Web of Science (Knowledge) for a broad set of institutions — both elite and non-elite — from 1991 through 2007. The story is more one of constancy than of change: there is only limited evidence that non-elite institutions have been gaining relative to their more elite counterparts.
