Higher education and researoh institutions: new quantitative methods
Abstract
The category I23 "Higher Education. Research Institutions" appeared in the Journal of Economic Literature as a field of JEL classification in December of 2004. The share of this field in the total amount of the EconLit records rose from 0.2% in 2004 to 1.8% in 2013. This fact marks the growing interest of researches to the problems of higher education and research institutions. The new directions of scientific research are able to occur on the intersections of subject fields. Thus the aim of our paper is to give a revue of new directions of economic research that have arisen on the intersections between the field I23 and the fields which are the subdivisions of the JEL general category C Mathematical and Quantitative Methods in 2006-2013 years. In order to achieve this aim we use bibliometric analysis, the EconLit records with the code I23, and the abstracts and texts of corresponding publications. We present 24 new directions of research, which include 105 publications, as well as brief comments for 29 works. The leaders with 17 works in the list of new directions are the intersections with the following two fields: 1) C51 Model Construction and Estimation, 2) C78 Bargaining Theory, Matching Theory. Thirty-seven codes of category C are free for intersection with I23 in order to develop new directions. The analysis shows the tendency to use not only separate techniques but also the complexes that include the combination of different models, software and means of data mining.
