摘要: This paper examines the effect of receiving national research funding on the quantity and quality of subsequent academic research based on the personnel data of a prestigious Chinese university from 1998 to 2015. We adopt an IV strategy derived from the variations over time regarding the restriction rules as well as the funding amount of each type of national funding and find that receiving funding can improve the quantity and quality of publications. The specific funding amount does not have a statistically significant effect on the research productivity. At most, more money only generates some lower quality papers. Combining the institutional features in China’s funding system with our empirical results, we believe that the goal-setting mechanism is the main channel to explain the obtained results.
