support for free market policies and reforms does the Field of Study influence students political attitudes
European Journal of Political Economy, 2017Co-Authors: Mira Fischer, Björn Kauder, Niklas Potrafke, Heinrich W. UrsprungAbstract:Since opinion leaders are usually university graduates, the Field of Study has an influence on public support for economic policies and policy reforms intended to enhance efficiency because advocating such policies often requires appreciation of the beneficial roles of markets and economic freedom. We investigate whether the Field of Study influences German university students' political attitudes. We disentangle self-selection from learning effects and reveal systematic differences between incoming students' political attitudes across eight Fields of Study. In a second step we explore how the students' political attitudes change as they progress in their academic training. Only Studying economics has an unambiguous pro-market influence on political attitudes: by the time of graduation, economics students are some 6.2 percentage points more likely than they were in their initial year of Study to agree with free-market policy positions. Studying humanities and natural sciences has a pro-leftist influence.

Does the Field of Study Influence Students' Political Attitudes?
2015Co-Authors: Mira Fischer, Björn Kauder, Niklas Potrafke, Heinrich W. UrsprungAbstract:We investigate whether the Field of Study influences university students’ political attitudes. To disentangle self-selection from learning effects, we first investigate whether the Fields of Study chosen by the incoming students correlate with their political attitudes. In a second step we explore how the political attitudes change as the students progress in their studies. Our results are based on a German pseudo-panel survey, the sample size of which exceeds that of comparable student surveys by an order of magnitude. We find systematic differences between the students’ political attitudes across eight Fields of Study. These differences can in most cases be attributed to self-selection. A notable exception is economics. Even though self-selection is also important, training in economics has an unambiguous influence on the political attitudes: by the time of graduation, economics students are about 6.2 percentage points more likely than they were as freshmen to agree with liberal-democratic policy positions.

the absorption of recent graduates into the australian labour market variations by university attended and Field of Study
Australian Economic Review, 2013Co-Authors: Paul W. MillerAbstract:This Study uses data from the 1999 to 2009 Graduate Destination Surveys to investigate the absorption of recent university graduates into the Australian labour market. The results indicate that graduates of the Group of Eight and Australian Technology Network are less likely than graduates of other universities to be employed in jobs that do not require their qualification. No university group, however, has a clear advantage in protecting its graduates from the adverse earnings consequences associated with working in such jobs. Field of Study plays an important role in determining both whether graduates work in occupations that require their qualification and earnings.

The Influences of Institution Attended and Field of Study on Graduates' Starting Salaries
Australian Economic Review, 2009Co-Authors: Elisa Birch, Paul W. MillerAbstract:This paper examines the determinants of Australian university graduates' starting salaries, with an emphasis on the institution attended and Field of Study. It is shown that there is little difference between the starting salaries of students who attended Group of Eight universities and those who attended other universities. There are modest differences in starting salaries across Fields of Study. However, these differences are considerably less than those associated with the type of employment obtained. These results suggest it is what you do in the labour market, rather than where or what you have studied, that is the main determinant of labour market outcomes.

THE INFLUENCES of INSTITUTION ATTENDED AND Field of Study ON GRADUATES’ STARTING SALARIES
2008Co-Authors: Elisa Birch, Paul W. MillerAbstract:This paper examines the determinants of Australian university graduates’ starting salaries, with an emphasis on the institution attended and Field of Study. It is shown that there is little difference between the starting salaries of students who attended Go8 universities and those who attended other universities. There are modest differences in starting salaries according to Field of Study. However, these differences are considerably less than those associated with the type of employment obtained. These results suggest it is what you do in the labour market, rather than where or what you have studied, that is the main determinant of labour market outcomes.

change as crisis or growth toward a trans disciplinary view of information systems as a Field of Study a response to benbasat and zmud s call for returning to the it artifact
Journal of the Association for Information Systems, 2003Co-Authors: Robert D GalliersAbstract:Benbasat and Zmud (2003) express concern that the research community in Information Systems is responsible for the ambiguity of the discipline’s central identity by “underinvestigating phenomena intimately associated with IT-based systems and overestimating phenomena distantly associated with IT-based systems” (p. 183). Their related argument is that IS needs to focus on the core of the discipline to survive. I seriously contend this point of view. Questioning that we are at a crossroads in the Information Systems (IS) Field, I argue that the Field should become less disciplinary, and more trans-disciplinary in nature. I build my case by focusing on –and then questioning – underpinnings in their argument. These include: (1) their definitions of IS as a Field; (2) the locus of our Field in organizations; (3) the assumption that IS is a discipline; and (4) the lack of consideration given to the interand trans-national nature of IS as a Field of Study. Thus, the paper attempts to reposition Information Systems (IS) as quintessentially trans-disciplinary in nature. This case develops by considering how Fields of Study evolve over time. This evolution can be seen as either natural or as producing crisis. Next, I offer an alternative “core” to Benbasat’s and Zmud’s “IT artifact.” Following this, I present an appropriate locus of Study for IS, one that offers a less constricting boundary than that of the organization, including societal and cross-cultural considerations. Finally, I question the very notion of “discipline” as applied to IS, and identify implications
