Risk and Insurance Research Productivity: 1987-1996

Abstract

Thirty insurance, actuarial, finance, economics, and other journals are analyzed to yield varying measures of productivity for risk and insurance research for the period 1987 through 1996. Separate results are reported for individual authors, their employing institutions, and the institutions where they obtained their highest academic degrees. Results also are reported for many different journal samples. Pennsylvania ranked first for all measurement criteria used; others consistently among the top twenty-five rankings are Harvard, Illinois, Chicago, Stanford, Texas, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Waterloo, and Georgia. Comparison to results reported by Cox and Gustavson (1990) for the eleven-year period from 1976 to 1986 provides evidence of a continued broadening of the universe of persons engaged in risk and insurance research. Substantial movement among the top thirty institutions was observed in comparison to the earlier period, with the individual author rankings changing to an even greater extent.
