%0 Report %A Epstein, Gil S. %A Menis, Joseph %T Research and Teaching in Higher Education: Complements or Substitutes? %D 2013 %8 2013 Nov %I Institute of Labor Economics (IZA) %C Bonn %7 IZA Discussion Paper %N 7751 %U https://www.iza.org/index.php/publications/dp7751 %X In this note we use unique data from Bar-Ilan University, over a period of four years (2005-2008), to estimate simultaneous equations with regard to the relationship between publications and teaching loads. The study shows that students studying for a bachelor's degree are a liability while PhD students are an asset in terms of publications. Those studying for a master's degree may be a liability or an asset depending on the department characteristics. Increasing the number of faculty members increases publications however it may not increase the publications per capita and is department specific. %K higher education %K teaching loads %K publications %K productivity
