内容提要:

Research Assessment Exercise (RAE)/ Research Excellent Framework (REF)is a periodic exercise system carried out by four UK funding bodies, the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the Scottish Funding Council (SFC), the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales (HEFCW) and the Department for Employment and Learning, Northern Ireland (DEL), which has already been conducted 7 exercises from 1986 to 2014, to evaluate the research quality of the higher education institutions (HEIs) in UK. This evaluation system together with the constrains on job-hopping of economics departments in UK generates a non-linear incentive along with time, which induces academics in UK economics departments to “game” the incentive system by manipulating their finishing time of research outcomes and the shrink of scale of economic departments in UK. This leads a periodical decline of research quality of economics in UK. Furthermore, as the pressure on “surviving” caused by RAE/REF is increasing, co-authorship within departments benefits the quality of research and career development in academics. Meanwhile, the attraction of economics departments in UKdrops gradually for high-qualify academics with within-department co-authorship.

Key words: Non-linear Incentive, RAE/REF, Research Quality, Co-authorship
