When research assessment exercises leave room for opportunistic behavior by the subjects under evaluation
作者：
Highlights：
• We test the lack of opportunistic behavior by universities floowing the Italian VQR.
• VQR penalized university performance if professors resulted unproductive.
• Universities could reduce penalization favoring gift authorships.
• New productives show a higher than average share of intramural publications.
• Nevertheless opportunistic behavior by universities does not seem to take place.
