Outline of Final Research Achievements

We conducted a survey by questionnaire on Ph.D. students and fixed-term research associates and assistant professors in economics, in order to study young economists’ needs for supporting their research activities. The results of the survey indicate that young researchers actively present research papers at academic meetings and submitting papers to academic journals. However, instructions at graduate schools and research fund might not be provided satisfactory, and young researchers are worried about their research achievements for finding faculty positions. Also, data analyses using national surveys on school and teachers as well as independent surveys indicate that professor classification (salary) are lower for women than men with controlling age (age and professor classification). Ratio of women faculty positively correlates to ratio of woman students and probability to high new women faculty members.
