WHY
DO INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION REWARD RESEARCH WHILE

SELLING
EDUCATION?

Dahlia
K. Remler

Elda Pema

ABSTRACT

Higher
education institutions and disciplines that traditionally did little research
now reward faculty

largely
based on research, both funded and unfunded. Some worry that faculty devoting
more time

to
research harms teaching and thus harms students’ human capital
accumulation. The economics literature

has
largely ignored the reasons for and desirability of this trend. We summarize,
review, and extend

existing
economic theories of higher education to explain why incentives for unfunded
research have

increased.
One theory is that researchers more effectively teach higher order skills and
therefore increase

student
human capital more than non-researchers. In contrast, according to signaling
theory, education

is
not intrinsically productive but only a signal that separates high- and
low-ability workers. We extend

this
theory by hypothesizing that researcher
s make higher education more costly for
low-ability students

than
do non-research faculty, achieving the separation more efficiently. We describe
other theories,

including
research quality as a proxy for hard-to-measure teaching quality and barriers
to entry. Virtually

no
evidence exists to test these theories or establish their relative magnitudes.
Research is needed,

particularly
to address what employers seek from higher education graduates and to assess
the validity

of current measures of
teaching quality.
