Abstract:
Age effects in scientific production are a consolidated stylised fact in the
literature. At the level of scientist productivity declines with age
following a predictable pattern. The problem of the impact of age structure
on scientific productivity at the level of institutes in much less explored.
The paper examines evidence from the Italian National Research Council. The
path of hiring of junior researchers along the history of the institution is
reconstructed. We find that age structure has a depressing effect on
productivity and derive policy implications. The dynamic of growth of
research institutes is introduced as a promising research field.
