Are Research and Teaching Complements? Evidence from the UK

The economist Dr David Jaeger of St. Andrews will discuss his research on whether strong research in universities comes at the expense of teaching or whether it improves teaching.

Most four-year higher education institutions engage both in educating undergraduates and in conducting research. Relatively little is known, however, about the impact of research excellence on teaching excellence, largely due to a lack of data. In this lecture Dr Jaeger will introduce his research where he hand is colleagues used data from the United Kingdom to examine the relationship between research and teach. Their findings indicate a strong and positive relationship between research outputs (i.e. publications) and student satisfaction.

The event is organized by the ConCIV research group and the Department of Economics.

The event will be in English.
