Abstract

Bruno S. Frey* & Reiner Eichenberger** 1. Introduction Citations gain ever greater importance among scientists, including economists and management scientists. It is relevant both for the career of individual scholars and for comparisons between countries. Citations provide a frequently used measure for capturing the effect of science policy as it focuses on output or performance rather than on input such as expenditures for research.1 More fundamentally, a citation count according to countries contributes to answering the question of whether large or small countries are more successful in international scientific competition. As there is no comparable data set, based on citations, available for the management sciences, w e use peer nominations as an alternative measure for eminence in this discipline to analyze the same question. Our analysis allows for the identification of the position of French economists and French management scientists among European2 countries. Our * Bruno S.
