Slides from my keynote lecture "What drives the productivity of scientific labor?" at the 2025 Oxford Summer School on Economic #Networks. Part 2 of 2: how does who you collaborate with shape your own productivity, and how are networks like social capital? aaronclauset.github.io/slides/Claus...
Slide titled 'network effects in scientific labor', arguing that your own productivity is a network effect, because it includes the productivity of your coauthors too Slide showing a worked example of a collaboration network, and using a probabilistic model to marginalize the network effects of collaboration to estimate individual productivity (without network effects) Slides showing results of applying the network effect model showing that collaborating with a highly productive or highly prominent coauthor in your early career has a lasting effect on your own productivity and prominence, suggesting that social capital (network effects) are a kind of semi-transferrable form of wealth Slides describing a network analysis of homophily in collaboration networks, showing that diversity in collaborators is a learned tendency, and mid-career researchers who trained in highly diverse research groups go on to lead relatively more diverse groups themselves
